Overview
- On Tuesday the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation reviewed progress at IIIT and Khajaguda junctions and reiterated a consolidated completion target of May 2027 for both projects.
- Work at the larger IIIT Junction (₹459 crore) has reached advanced stages with foundations, piers, pier caps and prestressed concrete girder casting while the smaller Khajaguda scheme (₹220 crore) is at foundation, pier and pier‑cap stages.
- Officials and engineering teams blame heavy monsoon rains for recent slowdowns and have formally directed contractors to accelerate schedules without compromising construction safety or quality.
- Authorities estimate the projects will cut peak‑hour travel by about 20 minutes at IIIT and 16 minutes at Khajaguda, easing congestion for more than 200,000 vehicles daily and reducing fuel use and emissions.
- Near‑term risks include further monsoon disruption and local traffic squeezes from ongoing works, with planned temporary closures and diversions at Khajaguda likely before traffic relief is delivered.
