As part of the Hi-City project to improve road network in the city, the govt has sanctioned infrastructure projects worth 826 crore for improvement of all six junctions around KBR Park in Jubilee Hills.
The roads joining the peripheral road of the park are arterial roads and carrying huge volume of traffic from one part of the city to another in all directions. The periphery road of KBR Park has six major junctions.
The traffic flow is high across these junctions with work, business and commercial trips, with roads connecting to IT zones and commercial hubs in Madhapur, Gachibowli and Kondapur.At present, these junctions streamline traffic though signals and U-turns. Considering the importance of these junctions, grade separators have been proposed at six junctions around KBR Park in two packages at a cost of 826 crore.
The junctions have been designed to ensure that the entire area would be conflict-free, i.e., there would be no signal anywhere around KBR Park, and traffic could flow in an uninterrupted manner. Traffic going clockwise would travel in a series of underpasses, while vehicles going counter-clockwise will flow through a series of flyovers.
GHMC has also incorporated rainwater retention structures under the underpasses to make sure that these places do not become bottlenecks during the monsoon.
At Jubilee Hills Checkpost, GHMC would build a ‘Y’ shape underpass from Road Number 45 to KBR and Yousufguda, a four-lane flyover from KBR Park entrance junction towards Road No.36, a two-lane flyover from Yousufguda side towards Road No.45 Junction.
At KBR Entrance and Road No. 36 Junction, the civic body would build a two-lane underpass from Jubilee Hills Checkpost towards Cancer Hospital Junction, a three-lane uni-directional from Punjagutta side towards Jubilee Hills CheckPost and three-lane underpass from KBR Entrance Junction towards Panjagutta. These structures would cost 421 crore.
The other junction improvement works would come up at Road No. 45, Film Nagar, Maharaja Agrasen and Cancer Hospital at a cost of another 405 crore.
