Flyovers in Hyderabad

Published January 12, 2009

TRAFFIC jams have become a major problem for Hyderabad. To solve this issue, the district government decided to build flyovers in different parts of the city.

One flyover in Latifabad has been completed and three are being built in different parts of Hyderabad. Construction of these flyovers was started several months back but more than 60 per cent work remains to be completed.

This slow pace of work has been causing major traffic jams. Children reach school late, office workers are late. Pushcarts are also playing a vital role in traffic jams because their owners are selling their goods beneath the half-built flyovers. There is lack of proper streetlight too, and after sunset it is very difficult to drive vehicles.

The local government is requested to speed up the work and try to complete these flyovers as soon as possible.
