Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy officially inaugurated a newly constructed flyover between Zoo Park and Aramghar in Hyderabad on Monday. Built by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), the flyover aims to ease traffic congestion on the route connecting Hyderabad to the Bangalore Highway. The 4.08-kilometer-long flyover was constructed at a cost of approximately Rs 800 crore. Though its completion was announced last December, the official opening had been delayed for various reasons.
Key Highlights of the Event
The flyover, which is expected to significantly reduce traffic bottlenecks, was inaugurated during a grand ceremony attended by officials and local representatives. After the inauguration, CM Revanth Reddy addressed the crowd, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure development for Hyderabad’s growth.
“During the tenure of YS Rajasekhara Reddy, the largest flyover, the PV Narasimha Rao flyover, was constructed. Today, with the opening of this second-largest flyover, we have once again proven our commitment to development and progress,” the CM said. He also announced that the new flyover would be named after former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, recognizing his contributions to the nation.
