Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Friday while inaugurating the Eco-Hill Park at Kotwal Guda near Himayatsagar Reservoir under the State Government’s 99-day special Praja Palana – Pragati Pranalika programme.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy launched the state government’s 99-day special Praja Palana – Pragati Pranalika programme, kicking off the initiative from Hyderabad by inaugurating and establishing two major infrastructure projects aimed at transforming the city into a world-class urban hub.
The Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for the international pipe interchange at Budwel and inaugurated the Eco-Hill Park at Kotwal Guda near the Himayatsagar reservoir.
Budwel Pipe Interchange Project will connect Outer Ring Road with Radial Road-2 and improve connectivity between Budwel Layout and Rajendranagar region. The Eco-Hill Park at Kotwal Guda has been built over an area of over 85 acres and includes nearly a million plantations.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Revanth Reddy said that the government is implementing infrastructure projects worth nearly ₹ 24,500 crore within Greater Hyderabad limits to improve road connectivity, develop urban infrastructure and make the city more modern, sustainable and livable.
The city already has a 158-kilometer outer ring road, and the government is now preparing the construction of a 360-kilometer regional ring road. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority is preparing a comprehensive master plan till 2050 for the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region covering nearly 11,500 square kilometers.
The government has also taken up several elevated corridor projects to ease traffic congestion. Construction of the 5.5 kilometer elevated corridor from Paradise Junction to Dairy Farm Road has already started. The elevated corridor from Paradise to Shamirpet Outer Ring Road junction is being developed as a part of the 18 kilometer long corridor project.
Another major proposal includes a six-lane nine-km elevated corridor from Banjara Hills Road No. 12 to Gachibowli Outer Ring Road that will provide direct connectivity to key areas such as Film Nagar, T-Hub and ITC Kohenur.
The government is also expanding connectivity through radial roads, including a 41.5 kilometer expressway from Raviryal ORR to Amangal RRR in the proposed ₹4,621 crore Future City project. Stretching 81 kilometers from Kotwal Guda to Nacharam, the Radial Road-2 project will connect three major industrial corridors.
