Shilpa Layout Flyover Service Roads Ready

PROPERTY PULSE

Traffic movement at Hyderabad’s busy Gachibowli junction is expected to improve with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) completing the service roads on both sides of the Shilpa Layout Flyover. The roads are expected to open to motorists soon, potentially easing daily commutes for IT employees, residents and other road users travelling through the area.

The project is intended to improve traffic circulation by providing separate routes for vehicles using the flyover and those travelling through nearby localities, reducing pressure on the main carriageway. Gachibowli Junction connects Kondapur, the Financial District, the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and routes towards the airport.

The concentration of IT companies and commercial establishments in the surrounding areas generates substantial traffic, particularly during morning and evening peak hours. The convergence of local traffic and vehicles using the flyover has contributed to congestion and delays.

Separate Routes for Local Traffic

The service roads have been constructed on both sides of the Shilpa Layout Flyover, also known as PJR Flyover Phase II. Once opened, they are expected to provide alternative routes for local traffic and reduce conflicts with vehicles moving along the main corridor. The separation could improve vehicle movement through the junction, although the extent of relief will depend on traffic volumes and how motorists use the new roads. The project reportedly faced delays due to pending land acquisition-related work, stormwater drainage requirements and the shifting of utility infrastructure. With construction now complete, the roads are awaiting opening for public use.

Relief for Commuters

Thousands of employees working in Gachibowli, Kondapur and the Financial District use the surrounding roads for their daily commutes. The service roads are expected to improve access between these localities and the ORR, potentially reducing delays caused by vehicles merging at the junction. Traffic conditions will need to be monitored after the roads open to determine whether additional traffic management measures are required.

Traffic Flow:

• GHMC has completed service roads on both sides of the flyover
• The roads flank the Shilpa Layout, or PJR, Flyover Phase II
• The junction links Gachibowli and Kondapur
• The surrounding network serves the Financial District and ORR
• Land acquisition, drainage and utility shifting delayed the work
• The roads are expected to improve local traffic movement after opening
