Hyderabad’s KBR Park traffic plan has been substantially revised, with the Telangana government shelving the earlier H-CITI proposal for eight underpasses and seven flyovers and considering a 7.5-km steel flyover between Jubilee Hills Checkpost and Muffakham Jah College.
The revised proposal was discussed at a Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) standing committee meeting on Saturday. GHMC commissioner R.V. Karnan, special officer Jayesh Ranjan and other officials reviewed the H-CITI works and proposed replacing the group of junction-level projects with a single elevated corridor.
According to the plan reported by Deccan Chronicle, the proposed steel flyover would begin at Jubilee Hills Checkpost, pass through Road No. 2 and the KBR Park junction, and continue towards Muffakham Jah College. The proposal covers a 7.5-km stretch and is intended to alter the way traffic is handled around one of Hyderabad’s key high-density road networks.
The earlier H-CITI package comprised eight underpasses and seven flyovers around the periphery of KBR Park. The planned works included a flyover and an underpass each at Maharaja Agrasen junction, Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital junction and the KBR Park entrance. A four-lane flyover had also been proposed on Road No. 2, along with a flyover and an underpass at Jubilee Hills Checkpost.
The earlier plan further included an underpass at Road No. 1, flyovers and underpasses at Road No. 45 and Filmnagar junctions, and an additional underpass at Mugdha junction. These projects were designed as a network of separate interventions across several junctions surrounding the park.
The revised approach consolidates the proposed intervention into a single steel flyover corridor. However, the change is not expected to produce substantial financial savings. The report said the 7.5-km flyover would result in only marginal savings compared with the earlier H-CITI proposals.
The shift places the emphasis on a longer elevated structure rather than multiple grade-separated projects distributed around KBR Park. The available details do not specify the final project cost, construction schedule, land requirements, traffic diversions or the status of approvals for the revised corridor.
For commuters, the proposed alignment would affect the Jubilee Hills Checkpost–Road No. 2–KBR Park junction–Muffakham Jah College route. The extent to which the new proposal will replace, retain or modify individual junction works from the original H-CITI package has not been detailed in the information available.
The GHMC’s standing committee discussion is the latest reported step in the revision of the project. Further details on the design, implementation timeline and formal approval process are expected as the civic body and the state government take the proposal forward.
