KBR Park in Hyderabad to get one elevated corridor instead of 14 flyovers, underpasses
The government of Hyderabad has decided to replace a planned 14-structure flyover and underpass project around KBR National Park with a single elevated corridor. This decision follows successful traffic management using one-way rules and pressure from environmental groups concerned about urban development.
Why it matters
The project highlights the tension between urban infrastructure development and the preservation of green spaces in rapidly growing cities.
The State government has decided to drastically whittle down the road development components planned to be built around the Kasu Brahmananda Reddy (KBR) National Park as part of the Hyderabad City Innovative & Transformative Infrastructure project (H-CITI) from 14 to one.
Highly placed sources have informed that the decision has been taken in view of the ease with which vehicular traffic is passing around the park after converting the road to one way. However, the order is yet to be passed officially, as final details of the single structure are still being thrashed out.
