Slow progress of Bachupally-ORR flyover causes severe traffic congestion

The construction of the 1.3 km Bachupally Outer Ring Road flyover in Hyderabad has been progressing at a tardy pace, causing severe traffic congestion and frustration among commuters.

The delay has severely affected road users on the Bachupally, Mallampet and Nizampet stretches, who had expected improved connectivity and reduced travel time once the facility is ready.

The MA&UD minister KT Rama Rao



had laid the foundation stone for the flyover in 2022 during the then BRS government. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) had allocated Rs 70 crore for the project, with completion originally scheduled for June 2025.

“However, the project has been delayed due to land acquisition and shifting of utilities. Moreover, heavy rains have added to the delays,” said a senior HMDA projects official.
