Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy laid the foundation stone for the construction of the 5.320 km Double Decker Corridor near Kandlakoya Junction on Saturday, which is expected to end the decades-long hardships faced by motorists on the National Highway (NH)-44.
Metro Rail line will also be built on this elevated corridor in the next phase. The cost of the project is estimated to be ₹1,580 crore.
The Corridor starts from Paradise Junction in Secunderabad on NH-44 and ends at Dairy Farm Road moving through Tadband Junction and Bowenpally Junction. The total length of this corridor is 5.320 km. The elevated corridor will be developed on 4.650 km stretch along with an underground tunnel which will be 600 metres long. There will be 131 piers (pillars) and the elevated corridor will be constructed in six lanes.
