The trial closure of Suchitra Junction turning it into a U-turn has evoked mixed reactions in just three days of its implementation. Motorists have to drive one more km for reaching the U-turn, while those coming from Medchal have to drive 800 additional metres. The two-week trial aims to ease congestion at one of the city’s busiest intersections.
For those travelling between Hyderabad and Kompally, Medchal, the closure has been a blessing. Waiting times that previously stretched beyond 30 minutes at the junction have now dropped to barely two minutes, giving long-suffering motorists some long-awaited relief.
