The Minister highlighted significant infrastructural improvements in Telangana since 2014, noting a doubling of national highway length from 2,511 km to over 5,000 km. He emphasized plans for access-controlled highways connecting Hyderabad to all major urban centers within a five-hour radius.
Further updates included the 75% completion of the LB Nagar to Malkapur six-laning project (₹545 crore), expected to reduce congestion significantly. A major announcement was the launch of the Northern section of Hyderabad’s Regional Ring Road (RRR), a 162-kilometer stretch with a projected cost of ₹16,000 crore.
Mr. Gadkari also suggested exploring innovative solutions like double-decker flyovers and underground parking systems to address Hyderabad’s growing traffic challenges, drawing inspiration from international models.
