The four-lane bidirectional corridor will be 3.382 km in length, of which 2.58 km will be of the flyover, and the remaining, of the ramp on both sides, a press note released in the name of GHMC Commissioner D.S.Lokesh Kumar said. The flyover is targeted to be completed within 24 months. The flyover will be part steel and part concrete. It will have steel pier, steel pier cap, steel girders with RCC deck slab cast in situ.
It is designed for a speed limit of 40 kmph. Its construction will require property acquisition in 17,823 square metres, comprising 221 premises, the note said.
Besides facilitating conflict-free traffic movement between Nalgonda crossroads and Owaisi junction, the flyover will save time for commuters travelling towards Champapet and Chandrayangutta. It will reduce the pressure on the traffic junctions at IS Sadan, Chanchalguda junction, Saidabad junction and Dhobighat junction, by circumventing them.
