A 34-metre section of the solar-panel-covered cycling track near the My Home Avatar junction in Narsingi is being removed to create a new connection to an existing vehicular underpass. Traffic police expect the move to ease congestion at one of western Hyderabad’s busiest junctions.The Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited (HGCL) has begun dismantling part of the cycling track to create a new U-turn to allow vehicles travelling from the Nanakramguda service road towards Nanakramguda to use the underpass instead of passing through the signal at the My Home Avatar junction.70,000 to 80,000 vehicles every dayAccording to Cyberabad Traffic Police, around 70,000 to 80,000 vehicles pass through the junction every day towards the Narsingi rotary, Kokapet, the Outer Ring Road and the U-turn leading towards the IT campuses in Nanakramguda.Narsingi Traffic Police Inspector P. Anjaneyulu said nearly 50% of the vehicles using the junction head towards IT companies in Nanakramguda, while another 30 to 40% travel towards Narsingi rotary, resulting in long queues at both the My Home Avatar and nearby Nanakramguda junctions.“The move is expected to reduce around 30% of the traffic burden at both junctions. Vehicles heading towards Nanakramguda will be able to use the underpass, eliminating their waiting time at the signal. For motorists travelling towards Narsingi rotary and Kokapet, signal waiting time is expected to reduce from the current 3-4 minutes to just a minute,” he said.
