The city authorities have planned a significant flyover project of ₹345 crore to provide a solution to the traffic problem in the enlarged Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) region. The new raised road will give a route without signals for the traffic coming from Secunderabad, Uppal, and LB Nagar heading to Shamshabad Airport.
GHMC authorities have disclosed that under the Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure (Hi-CITI) program, the building of the flyover will commence shortly and the tenders for the project have been opened.

- Route Benefit: Helps commuters from Shadnagar, Mahbubnagar, Attapur, and Mehdipatnam
- Construction Plan: Includes a three-lane down ramp at Katedan Junction
- Timeline: Work must be completed within two years from the date of contract agreement

Parallel to Metro Line
The flyover will run alongside the airport metro line, but the metro will be elevated higher than the flyover.
Besides, bids for a six-lane flyover that will pass over Taker College Junction, Gayathri Nagar Junction, and Mand Mallamma Junction have also been received, and it is anticipated that the decision will be made by the officials shortly.
