The flyover at Nagole, a structure built as part of the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP), is ready for launch in the city.
The 16th flyover and 32nd structure to be completed under the SRDP, the six-lane bi-directional flyover has a length of 990 metres. Total cost of the bridge is close to ₹ 144 crore, which includes utility shifting and land acquisition.
With completion of the bridge, there will be signal-free passage for commuters travelling from Nagole to Uppal, thereby reducing traffic congestion on the Inner Ring Road up to Secunderabad. Further, it will help the airport travellers, a note from GHMC informed.
