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.Details of proposed flyover and underpassesThe 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.Five lakh vehicles everydayWith nearly five lakh vehicles passing through Miyapur Junction every day, it has emerged as one of the busiest choke points on the NH-65 corridor. During peak hours, the junction handles nearly 13,000 passenger car units an hour, with motorists waiting through several 75 to 80-second signal cycles and traffic jams stretching 600 metres to a kilometre. The Miyapur and Allwyn junctions, located just 1.7 kilometres apart, serve as a crucial gateway for commuters travelling between Miyapur, Kukatpally, Hafeezpet, Kondapur, Hitec City and Gachibowli, where lakhs of IT professionals commute daily.10 metres of 14 metres for flyover workMiyapur Traffic Police Inspector G. Prashanth said that of the available 14-metre road width, around 10 metres would be occupied by flyover work, effectively leaving just one lane for traffic.“We need two additional lanes for traffic movement. At present, there is only one service lane and traffic is already piling up near Miyapur Junction. For the 800-metre stretch where construction will begin first, a service road is mandatory and can later be extended as work progresses towards Allwyn X Roads,” he said.
