Commuters in Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills will face phased traffic diversions as pillar construction begins for new grade separators under the Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure initiative. The advisory, issued by the Hyderabad Traffic Police, comes as steel flyover and underpass works intensify near Jubilee Hills checkpost, the KBR Park entrance and Mugdha junction — some of the city’s busiest intersections.
The works form part of the broader Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure programme, aimed at easing congestion across high-density corridors. Construction activity on Road No. 2 in Banjara Hills is expected to affect traffic movement between Mugdha junction, KBR Park Gate I and Jubilee Hills checkpost, particularly during peak commuting hours.According to the advisory, vehicles travelling from the NFCL stretch towards Srinagar Colony, Sagar Society and Jubilee Hills will be rerouted through Srinagar Colony main road, Indiranagar Labour Adda, Road No. 5 in Jubilee Hills and Venkatagiri crossroads. Traffic originating from Road Nos. 36 and 45 in Jubilee Hills towards NFCL will be diverted through Yousufguda and Ameerpet corridors before reconnecting with Panjagutta main road.
Motorists approaching from Masab Tank and interior Banjara Hills roads towards KBR Park and Jubilee Hills checkpost are being advised to use alternate internal roads via Agrasen Island and Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan to minimise congestion build-up near the construction zone.Officials clarified that diversions will be implemented dynamically based on on-ground traffic conditions. Peak-hour slowdowns are anticipated between 8.30 am and 11 am, and 5 pm to 9 pm. Heavy vehicles have been requested to avoid the affected stretch during these hours, while commuters are encouraged to consider public transport and carpooling options.
Urban mobility analysts note that while flyovers and underpasses can improve intersection capacity in the long run, short-term disruptions are inevitable in dense, mixed-use neighbourhoods such as Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills. The challenge lies in balancing construction timelines with commuter convenience and minimising spillover congestion into residential lanes.The advisory underscores the growing complexity of infrastructure upgrades in mature urban districts, where high traffic volumes, commercial activity and residential access must coexist. Effective signage, real-time navigation updates and coordinated enforcement will be key to maintaining flow during the construction phase.
As Hyderabad accelerates corridor-level interventions under the H CITI umbrella, the coming months will test how efficiently the city manages simultaneous infrastructure works without compounding daily commute stress. For now, authorities are urging motorists to plan journeys in advance and remain responsive to traffic updates as the project progresses.
