Hyderabad: The down ramp of PVNR Expressway in Laxminagar, Hyderabad, has been constructed and it was opened to the public on Friday.
The construction was undertaken by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority.
In 2009, HMDA constructed an elevated expressway from SD Hospital at Mehdipatnam to Aramgarh on NH-65 (Bangalore Highway) for faster connectivity to the international airport. However, due to some constraints, one down ramp couldn't be constructed.
The construction of the down ramp will help ease traffic from Aramghar, Shamshabad, and the surrounding areas moving towards Gudimalkapur and its surrounding areas, Gachibowli, Jubilee Hills, Filmnagar, Tolichowki, and Hitech city.
With this, all the ramps and PVNR expressway has been completed.
The ramp is located between Pillar no. 84 and 78 at Laxminagar and has been constructed at a cost of approximately 5 crores. The length of the ramp is 195 meters, width is 7 meters.
