- Traffic diversions Mehdipatnam announced for Skywalk construction
- Hyderabad Traffic Police issue routes and public advisory
Hyderabad City Traffic Police have imposed traffic diversions in Mehdipatnam in connection with civil works for the Skywalk at Rythu Bazar. The diversions are in force for three days, from December 19 to December 21. The police said the measures are necessary to facilitate ongoing construction work and to manage traffic movement in the area.
According to officials, two lanes on the road stretch between Rethibowli Junction and SD Eye Hospital will remain closed during the construction period. Therefore, traffic congestion is expected on surrounding roads and junctions. The general public has been advised to avoid the stretch from Pillar No 40 to Pillar No 1 of the PVNR Expressway during these days. Meanwhile, the traffic police have put alternative arrangements in place to reduce inconvenience to commuters.
Traffic coming from Attapur towards Banjara Hills has been advised to take the alternative route via Rethibowli, Nanal Nagar Junction, Film Nagar and Banjara Hills. This diversion aims to reduce pressure on the closed lanes near the Skywalk work zone. Similarly, vehicles travelling from Attapur towards Nampally may use the route through Gudimalkapur, Yadav Bhavan, Mehar Café Junction by taking a right turn, then proceed via Asif Nagar, Mallepally and Nampally.
Motorists travelling from Tolichowki towards Nampally or Lakdikapool have also been given a detailed diversion plan. They are advised to take a diversion at Nanal Nagar Junction. From there, they should proceed via Balika Bhavan and Laxmi Nagar through Pillar No. 68. Later, they must take a U turn at Pillar No. 57 and continue through Gudimalkapur, Yadav Bhavan, Mehar Café Junction with a right turn, then via Asif Nagar, Mallepally, Nampally and Lakdikapool.
Meanwhile, the Hyderabad City Traffic Police have appealed to commuters to remain alert and follow real time updates shared on their official social media platforms. Updates are available on Facebook at @Hyderabad Traffic Police and on X at @HYDP. The police said these updates will help commuters plan their travel better during the diversion period.
