Hyderabad May Soon Get India’s Longest Tunnel Road
Hyderabad may soon witness a major infrastructure development with the proposal of India’s longest road tunnel. The project aims to improve traffic movement across some of the city’s busiest areas while preserving green spaces and reducing surface congestion.
According to the proposed plan, the tunnel road is expected to connect Biodiversity Park near Raidurg to the Ministers’ Quarters area, passing through important locations such as Durgam Cheruvu Cable Bridge, Sri Peddamma Thalli Temple, KBR Park, Panjagutta (NFCL Junction), Banjara Hills Police Station, and BNR Colony.
One of the key highlights of the project is that a large portion of the route will run underground near KBR Park, helping protect the surrounding environment while enabling smoother traffic flow. The tunnel is designed to reduce travel time between the western IT corridor and central Hyderabad, which currently experiences heavy traffic congestion.
If implemented, the project is expected to significantly ease traffic in major areas like Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, and Panjagutta, while also providing a faster and more efficient route for commuters traveling across the city.
Infrastructure experts believe that such underground road systems could play an important role in future urban mobility planning, especially in rapidly growing metropolitan cities like Hyderabad.
