Hyderabad鈥檚 Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) department has approved a revised budget of Rs 6.2 billion for the construction of the Nalgonda X Road to Santoshnagar flyover, up from the initial estimate of Rs 5.23 billion. The approval followed a detailed proposal submitted by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).
The 3.38 km, four-lane steel flyover, a key part of the Strategic Road Development Program (SRDP), is designed to enhance connectivity in Hyderabad鈥檚 Old City. It will link the Government Printing Press in Chanchalguda to Santoshnagar, with ramps directing traffic towards Yadagiri Theatre and Champapet.
Once completed, the flyover is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion at busy junctions, including IS Sadan, Saidabad, and Chanchalguda, while improving access to major residential and commercial hubs.
Construction began in 2021 and was initially slated for completion by June 2023. However, delays caused by land acquisition, underground utility works, and rising costs of construction materials like steel and cement have extended the timeline.
After a thorough review of the revised costs, the MAUD department approved the updated budget. Local reports indicate that the flyover is likely to open for public use by the end of May 2025.
