KTR to inaugurate Hitec City RuB today

A new Road under Bridge (RuB) is all set to open at Hitec City MMTS station.

Built as part of the Strategic Road Development Programme (SRDP) initiated by the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, the RuB will be inaugurated by MA&UD Minister KT Rama Rao, on Monday.

The facility, set up at a cost of Rs 66.59 crores, comes as a big relief for scores of motorists in the IT corridor travelling between Hitec City and Kukatpally and areas further along the Mumbai Highway, as it provides conflict free movement. 

It also solves the issues that the motorists for years have been facing with water that used to get stagnated below the railway tracks near the MMTS station. The situation used to get worse during the monsoons as the runoff would accumulate here forcing bikes and cars to wade through it.

Completed by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), the RuB spans 410m in length, 20.60m in width and comes with a 9m bi-directional carriageway including that of approaches.



The service road is 9m on Hitech City side and 11m on Kukatpally side.

The Hitec City RuB happens to be one of the projects on the corridor from Gachibowli to JNTU which has been earmarked as one of the top priority under Comprehensive Traffic Study report. Further, this corridor is taken up under Phase-I of the SRDP.

In this corridor, multi-level flyovers have been constructed and opened to traffic under SRDP at almost all the junctions i.e., Bio-Diversity, Mind Space, Ayyappa Society and Rajiv Gandhi junctions which have significantly eased the traffic movement in the corridor. 

With the RuB opened for traffic, it will further ease the traffic movement by resolving one of the major bottlenecks in this corridor as the existing RoB near Hitech MMTS Railway station has already reached its maximum capacity, the GHMC pointed out. Also, with the completion of the RuB, the corridor from Gachibowli to JNTU i.e., 10.25 km, has been achieved as a conflict free corridor.
