Hyderabad: With the PVNR Elevated Expressway improving connectivity to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad from Masab Tank, the GHMC has decided to build another expressway on the Owaisi Hospital -Aramgarh stretch to reduce commute time to the airport. The Owaisi Hospital Crossroads-Aramgarh Crossroads stretch of the Inner Ring Road would be developed as an expressway. Generally, expressways are 150-feet-wide with good service roads, cement concrete kerb separators, footpaths and storm water drains on either side.
The road stretch was partially expanded by R&B department four years ago. Though the original proposal was to widen the road to 150 feet, it has not yet been expanded at some places as construction of the central median, storm water drain and footpaths were not completed by the R&B department.
