The Cyberabad Traffic Police have imposed traffic restrictions at Khajaguda Junction in Hyderabad for 60 days from September 26 to facilitate 900 mm and 1,000 mm diameter water pipeline works.
Under the restrictions, the service road and free-left movement from KIMS Hospital towards Nanakramguda Road will be closed. The right-turn for vehicles from the Biodiversity side towards Nanakramguda Road at the junction will also be restricted. Police have warned of congestion in and around the junction.
Alternative routes have been suggested. Traffic from the Shaikpet flyover towards Khajaguda may be diverted via Timberlake Colony Road. Vehicles from the Gachibowli or Biodiversity Level-1 flyover side may be routed through Khajaguda Lake Road. Commuters, including IT employees, are advised to plan journeys accordingly.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Khajaguda Junction sits on a key corridor connecting Hyderabad's IT hubs in Gachibowli and Nanakramguda with residential areas. The two-month closure suggests a significant pipeline replacement or installation, possibly to augment water supply to the growing western suburbs. Past similar projects at other Hyderabad junctions have caused prolonged delays, prompting the police to issue detailed diversions. Commuters should expect the most disruption during peak morning and evening hours. The success of the diversions, especially via Timberlake Colony and Khajaguda Lake roads, both narrower local roads, will determine if the traffic police need to adjust the plan. The next milestone is the September 26 start date and the first week of compliance monitoring by the police.
