Telangana Govt Sanctions ₹430 Crore for 4-Lane Bridge Over Mir Alam Tank | Key Infrastructure Boost for Hyderabad

by

In a significant step toward easing Hyderabad’s traffic woes, the Telangana government has officially greenlit a ₹430 crore mega infrastructure project — a four-lane bridge that will span across Mir Alam Tank

Project Highlights:

  • Length: 2.8 km
  • Lanes: Four-lane bridge
  • Budget: ₹430 crore
  • Execution Timeline: Construction expected to begin within a month; target completion in 2 years
  • Supervising Authority: Hyderabad Road Development Corporation Ltd (HRDCL)

This bridge is poised to:

  • Decongest key areas near Bahadurpura, Nehru Zoological Park, and Puranapul
  • Serve as an alternative route to the heavily congested NH-44 stretch
  • Enhance traffic flow between Old City and Central Hyderabad

Environmental Considerations:

The design is reportedly being aligned with eco-sensitive construction practices, ensuring minimal disturbance to the lake’s ecosystem. Urban planners are expected to conduct impact assessments before laying the foundation.

Officials Say:
A senior HRDCL official stated, “This bridge is a long-pending demand from commuters. It will significantly ease congestion around the Bahadurpura area, especially during peak hours and weekends when the zoo and nearby markets see high footfall.”

Strategic Significance:

  • Supports Telangana’s “look south Hyderabad” infrastructure expansion policy
  • Will boost tourism, especially for zoo visitors
  • Improves emergency response times by offering direct connectivity to inner city routes

Public Reactions:
Local residents have welcomed the move but emphasized the need for fast execution, transparent tendering, and public oversight to avoid delays.
