TG seeks Centre’s nod for key road, ropeway projects
Hyderabad: The Telangana government has requested the Centre to sanction all pending road projects, including a double-decker elevated corridor between LB Nagar and Hayathnagar, expansion of NH-65, the Regional Ring Road (RRR), ropeways, ROBs and RUBs.
Minister for Roads and Buildings Komatireddy Venkat Reddy met Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari. During the meeting, the minister sought immediate Central clearance, financial assistance and sanction for several high-priority road, bridge and ropeway projects across the State.
The bilateral meeting took place on the sidelines of the two-day Chintan Shivir-2026, jointly inaugurated by both leaders at the Statue of Unity complex in Ekta Nagar, Narmada district, Gujarat.
Komatireddy Venkat Reddy requested sanction for a six-km double-decker elevated corridor as part of the 2026–27 annual plan. The minister urged the Centre to adopt a viaduct design instead of a Reinforced Earth (RE) wall along the NH-65 LB Nagar–Malkapur section, allowing seamless integration with Phase-2 of the Miyapur–LB Nagar Metro Rail expansion.
The minister also urged the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) to grant final approval for expanding the highway to a six-lane (6+2) configuration. Traffic on this corridor has surpassed 1.20 lakh Passenger Car Units (PCUs) daily, and the stretch has several accident-prone locations and black spots, he said.
Komatireddy also urged Gadkari to fast-track financial and Cabinet clearances for the 161.5-km Northern RRR (Sangareddy–Choutuppal), and expedite the Detailed Project Report (DPR) to establish high-speed freight access between the two Telugu States, linking Telangana’s proposed dry port with access towards Bandar Port.
He sought sanction of Rs 1,230 crore for five eco-friendly tourist and spiritual ropeways connecting Yadadri, Hanuman Hill (Nalgonda), Nagarjuna Sagar, Ramagiri Fort (Peddapalli) and Killa Ramalayam (Nizamabad).
He also sought sanction for an elevated corridor on NH-765 through the tiger reserve on the Hyderabad–Srisailam route to protect wildlife ecology while improving access for pilgrims.
The minister further urged sanction of Rs 1,227.75 crore for 33 CRIF road projects spanning 511.68 km, along with three major Railway Over/Under Bridges (ROBs/RUBs) in Kothagudem, Sultanabad and Nalgonda for 2026–27.
