28,000 vehicles per hour and growing; Cyberabad is banking on flyovers and underpasses to ease the Allwyn-Miyapur traffic snarl

With more than 28,000 cars passing through the Allwyn and Miyapur junctions during peak hours, two of Hyderabad’s busiest traffic bottlenecks could soon witness a major transformation. Every day, thousands of commuters between Miyapur, Kukatpally, Hafeezpet, Kondapur, Hitech City and Gachibowli navigate heavy traffic and signal delays at two junctions that have become critical choke points along the NH-65 corridor.

To solve this problem, the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) has proposed a ₹530 crore separator project, which includes flyovers and underpasses for vehicles. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy laid the foundation stone for the project on Monday (June 8, 2026).

The proposed separator at Allwyn X Roads and Miyapur Junction was conceived as a long-term solution to one of the most persistent traffic challenges in western Hyderabad. To address these bottlenecks, the government has planned a network of vehicular flyovers and underpasses with a total length of 3,248 km.

The project includes a 1.79 km two-way bridge and flyover covering Miyapur and Allwyn junctions along with two one-way vehicular underpasses at Miyapur junction of 633 meters and 825 metres. “Together, the structure is expected to enable uninterrupted movement through the corridor, reduce the need for vehicles to stop at multiple traffic signals and ease pressure on roadways,” said a senior official.

The urgency of the intervention is reflected in the intensity of traffic registered at the intersections. The current peak traffic is approximately 14,528 passenger car units (PCU) per hour at Allwyn junction and 13,459 PCU per hour at Miyapur junction.

In addition to reducing congestion and travel time, the project is expected to bring wider economic and environmental benefits. Smoother traffic flow is likely to reduce fuel consumption, reduce vehicle operating costs and reduce carbon emissions by minimizing stop-and-go traffic. The improvements are also expected to increase road safety and improve commuting convenience along one of Hyderabad’s busiest transport corridors.

In addition, the project was designed to complement the public transport infrastructure. Officials say it will encourage better integration with Hyderabad Metro Rail services and other public transport systems, which will help create a more efficient and sustainable mobility network for the city.
