With more than 28,000 passenger car units passing through the Allwyn and Miyapur junctions during peak hours, two of Hyderabad’s busiest traffic bottlenecks could soon witness a major transformation. Every day, thousands of commuters travelling between Miyapur, Kukatpally, Hafeezpet, Kondapur, Hitech City and Gachibowli navigate through thick traffic and signal delays at the two junctions, which have become critical choke points along the NH-65 corridor.
To address the problem, the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) has proposed a ₹530-crore grade separator project comprising flyovers and vehicle underpasses. Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy laid the foundation stone for the project on Monday (June 8, 2026).
The proposed Grade Separator at Allwyn X Roads and Miyapur Junction has been conceived as a long-term solution to one of western Hyderabad’s most persistent traffic challenges. To address these bottlenecks, the government has planned a network of flyovers and vehicle underpasses spanning a total of 3.248 km.
The road project includes a 1.79-km bi-directional bridge and flyover covering both the Miyapur and Allwyn junctions, along with two uni-directional vehicle underpasses at Miyapur Junction measuring 633 metres and 825 metres respectively

The project includes a 1.79-km bi-directional bridge and flyover covering both the Miyapur and Allwyn junctions, along with two uni-directional vehicle underpasses at Miyapur Junction measuring 633 metres and 825 metres respectively. “Together, the structures are expected to allow uninterrupted movement through the corridor, reducing the need for vehicles to stop at multiple traffic signals and easing pressure on surface roads,” said a senior official.
The urgency of the intervention is reflected in the traffic volumes recorded at the junctions. Existing peak-hour traffic stands at approximately 14,528 passenger car units (PCU) per hour at Allwyn Junction and 13,459 PCU per hour at Miyapur Junction.
Beyond reducing congestion and travel time, the project is expected to deliver broader economic and environmental benefits. Smoother traffic flow is likely to lower fuel consumption, reduce vehicle operating costs and cut carbon emissions by minimising stop-and-go traffic conditions. The improvements are also expected to enhance road safety and improve commuter convenience along one of Hyderabad’s busiest transport corridors.
The project has additionally been designed to complement public transportation infrastructure. Officials say it will support better integration with Hyderabad Metro Rail services and other public transport systems, helping create a more efficient and sustainable mobility network for the city.
