Delayed but Worth the Wait: Zoo Park-Aramghar Flyover to Open Next Week
The demolition activities have disrupted local businesses, especially food vendors, causing inconvenience to visitors at the Zoo Park. Tourists have reported difficulties in finding food and refreshments due to the ongoing construction.
Hyderabad: The much-anticipated six-lane flyover connecting Zoo Park to Aramghar is now expected to be inaugurated by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on December 9. Initially scheduled for December 3, the inauguration was postponed due to incomplete work on the service road adjacent to the flyover near the Zoo Park’s main gate.

The sudden announcement of the inauguration earlier this week prompted swift action by the municipal corporation’s town planning team. Demolition operations targeting approximately 17 shops, eateries, and commercial establishments near the Zoo Park began to clear space for the construction of the service road. However, officials estimate that the service road will take at least a week to complete.
