Kukatpally to Hi-Tec City Unfinished flyover proves a pain

May 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Under construction for more than five years now, the one-km-long flyover between Kukatpally and Hi-Tec City was initiated to ease traffic congestion and save commuting time for hundreds of employees of IT firms, but is doing just the opposite. Thanks to this project which is progressing at snails pace, the commuters are being put through harrowing times, especially in the moings and evenings.

The inconvenience starts right near the fourth phase of Kukatpally housing board where the flyover begins. The road from this point till the next one kilometer towards Madhapur is not only narrow and filled with uneven texture but has many bottlenecks.

B Rohith, a resident of Kukatpally who works for a software firm in Gachibowli, said "Though my shift starts at around 10 am, I start early because the traffic is bad. There have been times when it has taken me more than half an hour to just travel a distance of 1 km. The road under the railway bridge is a nightmare as hardly a car and a bike can pass through it simultaneously. For years, employees like me have been eagerly waiting for the bridge to become a reality, but nothing of that sort happens even as traffic density keeps increasing on this stretch."

Moving over traffic issues, safety of the commuters and pedestrians on this road is a major conce as this stretch has been witnessing many major and minor accidents of late. Huge construction screens that have been put up have added to their woes. "Many accidents occur because the screens block the view when a vehicle is taking a perpendicular tu and ends up ramming into another vehicle coming from another direction."

Apart from that, the locals also complain that regular movement of lorries carrying construction material is a big nuisance. "These lorries drive at high speeds and enter narrow roads causing great inconvenience," said P Madhu, a resident of the area. The rubble and other construction materials are also dumped on the coers of these roads quite negligently posing a threat to the motorists.

Officials at the HMDA, however, say all these problems will be a thing of the past as the bridge will be completed soon. " Project was delayed due to various reasons and one of them is a small stretch passing over the railway track. There were some hurdles with the railways but it has been sorted out.
