Minister for Roads and Buildings Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has stated that the construction of the Uppal-Narapalli flyover is set to be finished and opened to the public by the time of the Dussehra festival.

Accompanied by Government Whip Beerla Ilaiah, Uppal MLA Bandaru Lakshma Reddy, and various officials, the Minister on Wednesday conducted an inspection of the flyover construction from Uppal Ring Road to Narapalli, assessing the progress of the project. During his remarks, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy emphasised the government's commitment to the Uppal-Narapalli flyover and outlined efforts to expedite its completion.

He noted that the flyover project, which commenced nearly eight years ago, faced significant delays owing to financial issues and other factors. Since the Congress government took office, I have focused on the flyover's development, engaging in discussions with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari to accelerate the work's progress, the Minister said. He also mentioned that the State government has successfully persuaded the central government and has replaced the contractor who was previously handling the project, entrusting the work to a new individual. 

"We will expedite the progress of the project with focused attention and aim to finish it quickly. This flyover is the largest one following the PV Express Highway in Hyderabad. We intend to complete it and make it accessible to the public by the Dussehra festival," stated Komatireddy. In 2018, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari laid the foundation for a 6.25-kilometer flyover that extends from Uppal to the Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) in Narapalli, with a budget of Rs 527 crore.
