Traffic diversion for Miyapur-Allwyn flyover trial run exposes bottleneck, police propose additional service lane to tackle congestion
A trial run for the Miyapur-Allwyn flyover project in Hyderabad has revealed significant traffic bottlenecks, leading police to demand an additional service lane. The project aims to alleviate congestion on the busy NH-65 corridor, which serves as a vital link for thousands of IT professionals.
Why it matters
Infrastructure development in rapidly growing urban centers often faces logistical hurdles that require careful planning to prevent severe public inconvenience.
A trial run ahead of the Miyapur-Allwyn X flyover construction has exposed a bottleneck in the proposed traffic diversion plan, with Cyberabad Traffic Police insisting that an additional service road be created before work begins. Officials said the existing carriageway cannot accommodate diverted traffic along the busy NH-65 corridor.
The trial, conducted on Monday (July 13, 2026) on an 800-metre stretch from Miyapur Junction towards Allwyn X Roads, simulated the traffic diversions that will be in place during construction. Even without excavation work underway, traffic queues quickly formed at several points, including near Santosh Dhaba, highlighting the need for additional road space.
The flyover project comprises a 1.79-kilometre bi-directional flyover spanning both the Miyapur and Allwyn junctions, along with two uni-directional underpasses at Bachupally and Hafeezpet, allowing uninterrupted movement along the corridor once completed.
