Lakdikapul Night Traffic Diversion for 1 Month

Hyderabad: Month-Long Night Traffic Diversion Begins at Lakdikapul for Drainage Work

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Traffic Police have announced night-time traffic diversions at Lakdikapul junction due to ongoing drainage construction work being carried out by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). These changes, which started on June 11, will continue for one month, and may extend further based on work progress and site conditions.

The construction is part of GHMC’s plan to lay a new stormwater drain in the area, aimed at solving the recurring waterlogging problem during monsoons. To avoid major daytime traffic disruptions, all construction activities will take place only during the night hours, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM daily.

Work Zone Details:

The construction will span a stretch of 180 metres, starting from the Intelligence Office and continuing up to Dwaraka Hotel, passing notable landmarks such as Lucky Restaurant and Venkateshwara Hotel (near the old Saifabad Police Station junction).

Traffic Diversions During Work Hours:

  • If work is being carried out near Dwaraka Hotel (Old PS Saifabad):
    • Vehicles coming from Nirankari and heading towards Iqbal Minar will be diverted towards Ravindra Bharathi.
    • Traffic coming from Ravindra Bharathi and heading to Old PS Saifabad will be redirected at Iqbal Minar towards Secretariat Junction.

The Hyderabad Traffic Police have requested commuters to cooperate with the diversions and follow traffic signs placed in the affected zones. They have also advised night-time travelers to plan ahead to avoid delays and congestion.

Massive Gachibowli Flyover to Ease Hyderabad Traffic

New Flyover in Hyderabad to Reduce Traffic at Gachibowli

Hyderabad is about to open a major new flyover at Gachibowli to help reduce traffic on one of the city’s busiest roads. This will be the first third-level flyover in the city and is expected to open in the first week of June 2025. It connects the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to Kondapur and aims to make travel smoother for thousands of people.

A Special Design

The flyover is 1.2 kilometers long and has six lanes. It was built at a cost of ₹178 crore under the city’s Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP). What makes it special is its three levels. The new flyover (Level 3) is built above two older flyovers already at Gachibowli—one at Level 1 and another at Level 2. This makes it a unique structure in the city.

Solving Traffic Problems

The Gachibowli junction often has heavy traffic because it connects key areas like the IT corridor, Financial District, Hitec City, and the airport. The new flyover will help vehicles move faster between ORR, Kondapur, and Hafeezpet, cutting down travel time and avoiding traffic jams.

Officials say it will be especially helpful for people who travel daily and for those heading to the airport, Hitec City, or the Financial District.

Part of a Bigger Plan

This is the 23rd flyover built under the SRDP and the 37th structure overall. The plan includes building 42 flyovers and other road improvements across the city to reduce traffic and avoid traffic signals. The Gachibowli flyover is one of the biggest projects in this plan.

The city is also working on other projects like railway overbridges in Falaknuma and Shastripuram to improve travel further.

Building for the Future

The government is investing in new roads, flyovers, and underpasses to prepare for Hyderabad’s fast growth. This is part of a larger plan called the H-City project.

Opening Soon

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will open the new flyover soon. Officials believe it will bring great relief to many commuters and support Hyderabad’s growth as a major tech and business city. Final construction work is being completed to ensure the flyover is ready on time.

LuLu Mall Hyderabad Traffic Chaos: How to Avoid It

LuLu Mall Hyderabad Traffic Chaos: The newly opened LuLu Mall in Hyderabad has become a major attraction, drawing massive crowds, particularly on weekends. This has led to severe traffic congestion in the surrounding areas, causing hours of delays for commuters.

The traffic chaos is particularly evident on the stretch leading to the mall, where vehicles are often bumper-to-bumper. The mall itself is also packed with shoppers, resulting in long queues at checkout counters and escalators that have stopped working due to overload.

On Sunday, the traffic gridlock persisted well into the evening, making it a nightmare for those traveling between Miyapur and Ameerpet. The traffic woes extended to Balanagar, Kukatpally, JNTU, and Miyapur, with even short journeys taking nearly an hour.

The mall’s popularity is a testament to the city’s growing demand for retail and entertainment options. However, the traffic chaos is a major concern, and authorities need to take steps to address it. This could include increasing public transportation options in the area, developing dedicated parking facilities, and implementing traffic management measures.

In addition to the above, here are some other possible measures that could be taken to reduce traffic congestion around LuLu Mall:

  • Rerouting traffic away from the mall during peak hours
  • Imposing stricter parking restrictions in the area
  • Working with the mall management to develop a traffic management plan
  • Educating motorists about alternate routes and public transportation options

By taking these steps, authorities can help to ensure that LuLu Mall can continue to thrive without causing undue disruption to the city’s transportation system.
