The Ranga Reddy district administration has proposed to widen National Highway 9 and carry out improvement of important junctions en route to ease traffic congestion and reduce the incidence of accidents.
The existing four-lane road on the Vijayawada route is proposed to be widened to 14 lanes for a stretch of 12 km from Gaddianaram up to 2 km beyond Hayatnagar at a cost of Rs. 56 crores. Besides, 22 junctions have been identified in consultation with the Cyberabad police for immediate improvement both on NH 9 and other important roads.
The district administration is also considering using the GIS technology for development of roads, water and drainage system. Properties will also be mapped using the GIS. The Kapra and Malkajgiri municipalities have already begun work on the project.
