The Government proposes to construct multi-level flyovers and skyways to ease traffic at major junctions after undertaking a survey soon, said Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday.
Some of the areas that might see the proposed constructions include Khairatabad, Banjara Hills, Abids, Koti and Kukatpally that see massive traffic throughout the day and more so during the peak hours.
At the high-level review meeting held at the National Academy of Construction attended by top government officials, the Chief Minister discussed on coming up with future plans keeping in mind the traffic density for the next 20 years.
