The roads in Hyderabad are undergoing a huge restructuring of new flyovers and expansions with the aim of reducing the time taken to commute to work and reducing the level of congestion. H-CITI promises major projects that promise to have 31 new flyovers and others by 2026.
The Current Crisis: Why These Upgrades are Urgent
Hyderabad is experiencing terrible road congestion with the rapid development of IT, population increase and road capacity constraints. Everyday traffic jams in such locations as Miyapur, Gachibowli, and the Financial District are a waste of time to commuters and a fuel expenditure explosion. It will have new flyovers and expanded highways, increasing average speeds from a crawl to a steady 50-60 km/h.
The Telangana government has also budgeted these works in the 2025-26 budget, consisting of the larger space of the planned road budget, 60,799 crore. This comes with 31 flyovers, 17 underpasses and 10 expansions under H-CI and TI, which are changing major corridors.
Current Progress: The 2026 Infrastructure Snapshot
There are several high-impact flyovers that are underway or tendering.
- Miyapur X Road to Allwyn X Road Flyover: A contract of 350 crores for a six-lane flyover, bi-directional, 25 m wide and with a crash barrier and median. The construction began in November 2025; the building was planned to be completed within 2 years. Companies with two underpasses (Hafeezpet-Miyapur and Bachupally-Allwyn).
- South Hyderabad Corridor (Saidabad to Owaisi): 2.5 km flyover with a price of 620 crore, 80 per cent by December 2025. It is the vision of the April 2026 opening that GHMC wants to connect Nalgonda crossroads and IS Sadan.
- Flyovers at IT Corridor (Khajaguda, Wipro, IIIT): More than 800 crores in total. IIIT Junction awarded multi-level flyovers and grade separators worth a total of Rs 459 crore, Rs 220 crore, and Rs 158 crore, respectively.
- Y-Flyover/Patigadda RoB: Two lanes to Patigadda/three lanes to Minister Road: unidirectional to slice the central Hyderabad bottlenecks.
| Project | Cost (Rs Crore) | Status | Expected Completion |
| Miyapur-Allwyn Fly | 350+ (total 530) | Bidding started Nov 2025 | 2027 |
| South Hyderabad Corridor | 620 | 80% complete | April 2026 |
| IIIT Junction | 459 | Planned | 2026+ |
| NH-44 Flyovers | N/A | Delayed | June 2026 |
Other than flyovers, the highways undergo massive transformation.
The Hyderabad-Vijayawada NH-65 is 229 km long and has received approval for Hyderabad-Vijayawada (six-laning) in November 2025. Land acquisition is in progress; it is going to reduce travelling time by 2 hours and accidents. There are plans for eight lanes forthcoming.
Shilpa Layout Stage-II and Uppal Junction flyovers are Phase-I completions that are driven by the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP). The 11,460 crore budget prepared by GHMC focuses on roads and bridges.
ORR expansions and greenfield connectivity to ports are on the cards, which will connect to a Rs 60,000 crore state-wide push.

- 25 or more flyovers out of the 31 promised are concentrated over IT hubs and on ORR junctions.
- Stormwater drains (Rs 5,942 crore) to eliminate snarls in monsoons.
- These road expansions are the literal ‘arteries’ for the upcoming Mucherla AI City. By creating a seamless link to this Net-Zero zone, the government is ensuring that Hyderabad’s 4th City is globally accessible from day one.
The team of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy looks at greenfield highways of 20,000 crore ports through Amaravati. Land and utility delays continue, but the tender is rolled out at a rapid rate.
The Economic Toll of Traffic Snarls
These additions will reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and stress on 1 crore+ citizens. The IT employees in Gachibowli enjoy commutes 20-30% faster; property prices are surging along the corridors, such as Miyapur.
On the economic front, the enhanced connections enhance logistics, tourism, and FDI. Transport could increase the GDP of Hyderabad by 5-7 per cent. Safety mechanisms such as sumps and barriers deal with rain.
GHMC should be observed by the residents with regard to diversions. In the long term, it will combine with expansions of the metro to form multimodal travel.
