Flyover Construction Details
Constructed at a cost of over ₹350 crores, with an equivalent amount spent on land acquisition, the flyover is part of the Strategic Road Development Program (SRDP). Planned for over seven years and situated on National Highway 44 (NH-44), the project began in late 2021 and was initially scheduled for completion by 2023. However, unforeseen local issues caused a one-year delay, with construction finally completed in mid-December 2024.
Delayed Inauguration
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) had planned the flyover’s inauguration twice in December 2024, but both events were postponed. Local residents have voiced their frustrations, highlighting the daily challenges of navigating narrow slip roads due to the flyover’s unavailability.
“The traffic congestion is unbearable. The authorities must open the flyover immediately to ease our commutes,” said Syed Irshad, a resident of Bahadurpura.
Importance of the Aramgarh Flyover
Connecting Bahadurpura and Aramgarh, this vital stretch of road links over two dozen colonies with NH-44, making it a critical route for daily commuters. The completed flyover is expected to significantly reduce travel time and alleviate traffic bottlenecks in this busy area.
Expected Inauguration in January
According to officials, the Aramgarh flyover is likely to be inaugurated in January 2025, alongside other infrastructure projects. Residents and commuters eagerly await the opening, hoping it will mark the end of prolonged traffic woes.
