Steel Bridge Work Begins at Mugdha Junction

Hyderabad:City police commissioner VC Sajjanar said the construction of the steel bridge at Mughdha Junction in Banjara Hills, where work began on Friday, is an attempt to establish a signal-free road network in the city. He said seven overpasses and underpasses will be constructed in the next two years to ensure signal-free traffic flow, especially around KBR Park.

Speaking after inspecting the site, Sajjanar said the work was being carried out in phases in coordination with GHMC, state government and police to ensure minimum inconvenience to the public. He said that the construction work of six pillars on the route from Mugdha Junction to KBR Park will begin late Friday night.

Sajjanar announced that the work will be carried out intensively at night to avoid any disruption to traffic during the day. He said there would be minor inconvenience to motorists only until the foundation works are completed, after which vehicular movement will continue as usual.

The police chief said that when the project is completed, the roads surrounding KBR Park will turn into signal-free intersections, thus providing smooth and fast transportation to the central, eastern and western parts of the city.
