# Gautamnagar rail underpass work likely to begin soon 2026-08-15T13:07:54+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Work on a proposed Road Under Bridge at Gautamnagar in Malkajgiri, Hyderabad, is likely to begin soon, South Central Railway said. Municipal authorities have approved the design, and tenders are being processed for the Rs 34 crore project, including Rs 10 crore for shifting utilities. The level crossing, between Malkajgiri and Dayanandnagar stations, often remains closed for 15 to 45 minutes, and sometimes up to an hour, as MMTS, passenger and freight trains pass through. Residents say closures push traffic into narrow lanes and delay students, office-goers and ambulances. An RTI reply cited by activist Robin Zaccheus found that 51% of 211 ROB and RUB projects across Telangana had been completed. Land acquisition, funding and coordination remain obstacles. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Gautamnagar, Hyderabad, Malkajgiri, South Central Railway, Telangana Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/gautamnagar-rail-underpass-work-likely-to-begin-soon/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
