In the coming days, the four-lane bi-directional flyover from Shilpa Layout to Outer Ring Road (ORR) near Gachibowli Junction will soon be open to the public. Besides installing street light poles, most of the civil works have been completed, including the bitumen layer on the flyover.
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is calling the 956 meter-long and 16.60 meter-wide Shilpa Layout flyover an engineering feat under the State government’s ambitious Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP).
There are some spans of the flyover that are 18 meters above the ground and cross over the existing Gachibowli Flyover, making it unique from other such facilities.
The connectivity from Shilpa Layout to ORR will be drastically improved once this flyover is built. Additionally, the project will relieve traffic at Gachibowli Junction and enhance connectivity between Hitech City and Financial District.
Peak hour traffic on Shilpa Layout road in 2020 was 1,464 passenger car units (PCUs) per hour and is projected to be 5,194 PCUs in 2040.
With the flyover set to open soon, the GHMC has reportedly invited tenders for the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of decorative lighting with dynamic illumination on both sides of the Shilpa Layout flyover, as well as operation and maintenance (O&M) for a five-year period.
