The plan to rebuild the junctions around KBR Park has changed. When BC Welfare Minister and Hyderabad district in-charge Ponnam Prabhakar inspected the works on Friday, 9 October 2026, officials told him the separate underpasses and grade separators had been dropped, and that the one-way traffic system around the park would stay.

The new plan

Instead, the GHMC has finalised a 4.3-km, six-lane elevated corridor from Jubilee Hills Check Post Junction to NFCL Junction, signal-free across five major junctions, at a total cost of Rs 1,090 crore. It will be built of modular steel in two engineering-procurement-construction packages:

• Package 1: Jubilee Hills Check Post to Mudha Junction — Rs 580 crore
• Package 2: Mudha Junction to Mufakkam Jah College, with a ramp to Banjara Hills Road No. 1 — Rs 510 crore

Officials said the revised plan needs less land acquisition and fewer ground-level changes, and estimated savings of about Rs 800 crore in high-value private land and about Rs 400 crore in construction. The revision followed criticism of the earlier plan's planning, cost and disruption for commuters.
