People advised to avoid Inorbit road for 2 years

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT

The constructi­on of the bridge over Durgam Cheruvu Lake has commenced; and commuters are being advised to avoid the Inorbit Mall road and the TS Tourism parking area for the next two years.

Traffic is expected to increase on connecting routes, especially Jubilee Hills Road No. 36 and Road No. 45. The Traffic Department is working out alternativ­e routes.

Mr Venkat Ramana, Executive Engineer (Projects) from the GHMC, said, “The work will first begin at Ambedkar University; and the bridge will end exactly in front of Inorbit Mall and merge with the existing road. The constructi­on works will begin on either side of the water body; the two pylons will be constructe­d first. The bridge will have a footpath for pedestrian­s. Presently there is not much traffic as it is a water body zone. The cable bridge will be a landmark structure, and it will be illuminate­d in the night.”

Mr A.R. Srinivas, DCP of the Cyberabad Traffic Department, said, “Other alternativ­e routes will be identified. The whole area cannot be inaccessib­le, because it would become difficult for those living around the constructi­on site.”

BRIDGE WILL ENHANCE CONNECTIVI­TY BETWEEN BANJARA HILLS, JUBILEE HILLS AND HITEC CITY; AND IT WILL CATER TO THE EVER-INCREASING TRAFFIC GENERATED BY IT DEVELOPMEN­TS IN AND AROUND HITEC CITY.
