Master Plan promises 10 new flyoversHyderabad, Aug. 24: Ten new flyovers, 13 bridges, seven road-under-bridges and multi-parking facilities have been proposed in the City Master Plan-2031 to decongest traffic in the city.
The Master Plan for the core area of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation was released by the Chief Minister on Tuesday. It will be available online from August 26.
The municipal administration minister, Mr Aanam Ramanarayana Reddy, said the Master Plan would encourage decongestion of the old areas of the city.
The minister added that the area up to nine metres from Hussainsagar was declared a ‘Green Zone.’
Also, for the first time, MS Maktha has found a place in the Master Plan and has been categorised as a residential area.
Also, the growth corridor along the Outer Ring Road will be operational from November this year. This decision was taken at the high-level meeting held by the Chief Minister.
The growth corridor extends one kilometre on either side of the ORR and the government wants to develop it as a commercial hub. There are, however, certain restrictions particularly in terms of allowing traffic directly on to the ORR’s service roads.
Mr Rosaiah told the officials that he would inspect the ORR works on August 29. The CM also directed them to complete the works on the Hitec City flyover by September 30.
Meanwhile, the officials said the Kukatpally RoB will not be complete till March 2011.
