Minister KTR inaugurates Kothaguda flyover

Hyderabad, Jan 1: Continuing the precedent set last year, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Minister KT Rama Rao inaugurated Kothaguda multi-level flyover on Sunday. On the first day of the previous year, 2022, Minister KTR inaugurated Shaikpet Flyover. The Kothaguda Flyover solves traffic woes at Botanical Gardens and Kothaguda junctions. It links Financial District and HITEC City with neighborhood Miyapur and other locations.
It is the second longest flyover to be built under Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP), which includes 2.21 km of main flyover and two ramps of 784 meters length. Also, a 470 meter long three-lane underpass at Kothaguda Junction is part of the project.
Addressing people gathered at the inauguration, the MA&UD Minister said Kothaguda Flyover is the 34th project to be completed under Strategic Road Development Programme (SRDP), and 11 more will be completed in 2023. The Minister also added that the Strategic Nala Development Programme (SNDP), taken up in Hyderabad and eight municipalities around it, is scheduled to be completed by April.
He said the pace at which infrastructure projects were built in Hyderabad was not witnessed in any other city in India. Minister KTR said this was achieved because of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s vision and guidance. The MA&UD Minister added that infrastructure is being expanded according to growing needs of Hyderabad as lakhs of people from other districts and States make the city their home every year because of education, employment and other opportunities available here.
The Minister said 31 Sewerage Treatment Plants (STP) are being constructed and by May, Hyderabad will become the first city in India to be treating 100 per cent of its sewerage.
