The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has completed a major infrastructure milestone with the inauguration of a parallel Road Over Bridge (ROB) at Falaknuma on the Secunderabad–Falaknuma broad gauge line. The facility, built at a cost of ₹52.03 crore, was inaugurated by Hyderabad In-charge Minister Ponnam Prabhakar on Friday.

The ceremony witnessed the participation of GHMC Mayor Gadwal Vijayalaxmi, Rajya Sabha MP Anil Kumar Yadav, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, MLCs Mirza Riyaz Ul Hassan Effendi and Mirza Rahmat Baig, MLAs Mohammed Mubeen and Mir Zulfiqar Ali, GHMC Commissioner RV Karnan, Charminar Zonal Commissioner Srinivas Reddy, chief engineer (projects) Bhaskar Reddy, corporators, and several public representatives. 

A major infrastructure boost for South Hyderabad has been realised with the inauguration of the newly constructed parallel Road Over Bridge (ROB) at Falaknuma, built alongside the existing bridge on the Secunderabad–Falaknuma Broad Gauge line. The project, executed by GHMC,  was completed at a cost of Rs. 52.03 crore.

The project is set to transform traffic flow in the Old City by ensuring conflict-free movement from Barkas Junction (near G-Max Convention) to Falaknuma bus depot. It will significantly reduce travel time and decongest heavy traffic leading towards Charminar. The new bridge will also provide major relief to traffic around Global School, Kali Mata pilgrimage routes, and the Falaknuma railway station.

Local residents and commuters have welcomed the project, noting that it will put an end to frequent traffic snarls, save time, and ease movement across one of Hyderabad’s busiest corridors.
