Commuters on the Old Mumbai Highway will face significant traffic congestion for the next six months due to the construction of a massive six-lane flyover and underpasses between Miyapur and Alwyn Cross Roads.

Key Takeaways

  • Construction of a major six-lane flyover starting on Miyapur–Alwyn X Road.
  • Expected traffic congestion for approximately 180 days starting August 14, 2026.
  • Project includes a bi-directional flyover and uni-directional underpasses.
  • Cyberabad Traffic Police urge motorists to use alternative routes.

Commuters traveling along the Old Mumbai Highway between Miyapur Cross Road and Alwyn Cross Road are bracing for a challenging six months. The upcoming construction of a massive six-lane flyover and several underpasses is set to trigger significant traffic disruptions in the area.

On Friday, August 14, 2026, the Cyberabad Traffic Police issued a formal advisory regarding the construction works being undertaken by the Project-II Wing of the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation. The work is concentrated within the jurisdiction of the Miyapur Traffic Police Station.

Project Scope and Details

The infrastructure overhaul is part of a large-scale urban development plan and includes the following components:

  • A six-lane bi-directional flyover connecting Miyapur Cross Road to Alwyn Cross Road.
  • A three-lane uni-directional underpass heading from Alwyn Cross Road towards Hafeezpet.
  • A new three-lane stretch linking Bachupally to the Miyapur Cross Road.

Authorities have warned that traffic congestion is highly likely, particularly during peak commuting hours, for a duration of roughly 180 days from the commencement date.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that while these infrastructural upgrades are vital to decongesting the growing Hyderabad metropolitan area, the immediate impact on daily commuters will be substantial. The success of this project depends heavily on public cooperation and efficient traffic diversion management.

Effective navigation during this 180-day construction phase will require commuters to significantly adjust their travel timings and routes.
Did You Know?: Well-planned flyovers can reduce travel time in high-density urban corridors by up to 40% once completed.
