KCR to open Begumpet-Balkampet link road
Hyderabad, Oct 2 (INN): Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will inaugurate the link road connecting Begumpet to Balkampet on the occasion of Dassera on Friday.
The Begumpet-Balkampet 1.41 KM long four-lane link road has been constructed at a cost of Rs 45 crore. The project, which commenced in October 2007, was quite challenging as it had a huge area of about 30,000 sqm (7.5 acres) in Central Business District of the City with 3 Bridges including an RUB.
The project got delayed primarily due to stiff resistance from property owners in acquisition of properties. There was also delay in shifting of utilities like electrical towers, HT lines & LT lines, Water Supply and Sewerage lines and the grounding and completion of RUB by railways was also delayed.
Once opened, the link road will reduce travel distance by 2 KM for Traffic from Kukatpally, Balanagar, Fathenagar and Balkampet towards Secunderabad. It would benefit residents of Brahmanvadi, Begumpet, Nature Cure MMTS Station, Indira Gandhi Puram Renuka Nagar and connectivity to Balkampet, Brindavan Colony and Fathenagar.
The link road will also reduce traffic congestion on NH-9 from Ameerpet to Sanathnagar / Kukatpally besides easing out traffic congestion on section of SP Road from Rajiv Circle and Green land Flyover.
The traffic on Begumpet ROB will also get reduced by nearly 20 per cent. Nearly 60,000 vehicles are likely to ply on the road daily for the next 30 years, according to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.
The Chief Minister will also lay the foundation stone for the construction of 396 houses at IDH and four adjacent colonies in New Bhoiguda of Secuderabad on Friday.
