Day 1 of IIIT junction diversions forces over 10,000 IT employees onto longer routes, triggers congestion
Traffic restrictions at the IIIT junction in Hyderabad have been implemented to facilitate the construction of a multi-level flyover. The changes have forced over 10,000 IT employees to use alternative routes, resulting in increased congestion and longer commute times.
Why it matters
Infrastructure development in major IT hubs often causes significant short-term disruption to the workforce and local logistics.
The first day of traffic restrictions at IIIT junction for construction of a multi-level flyover and underpass saw over 10,000 IT employees adjusting to revised routes as traffic was rerouted onto the Gachibowli-Miyapur road and the Radisson Hotel junction. While police described the diversions as largely manageable, commuters reported longer travel times, congestion and confusion on one of the key gateways to Hyderabad’s IT corridor.
