Hyderabad: Hyderabad Traffic Police has announced major traffic diversions and road closures to facilitate the construction of an elevated corridor between Paradise Junction and Dairy Farm Road on National Highway 44.

Diversions around CTO Junction

Motorists travelling from Tank Bund, Ranigunj, Panjagutta, Rasoolpura, or Plaza towards Tadbund via CTO Junction will be diverted at the Rajiv Gandhi Statue Junction towards Anna Nagar – Balamrai – Tadbund.

Residents of Anna Nagar proceeding towards Panjagutta or Tank Bund are advised to use inner bylanes such as Meeting Point bylane, Hockey Ground bylane, and Law and Order Police Station bylane, or proceed via Balamrai to reach their destinations.

Congestion likely on Balamrai–CTO stretch
