NIT Warangal Impact - Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to maintain PVNR expressway

In a recent blog post we had talked about a NIT Warangal study on PVNR flyover. It said that the flyover is not safe for the commuters. Initially the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) tried to deny the report saying everything is okay with the flyover. But today Stung by the report on poor maintenance of the PVNR elevated expressway, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has decided to hand over the upkeep of the country's longest flyover to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). This shows the impact of NIT Warangal study which had exposed problems with the construction and maintenance. You can check the news paper article on it. It clearly acknowledges the role of NIT Warangal as follows.

The National Institute of Technology (NIT), Warangal, in its recent report, has exposed poor maintenance of the carriageway and pointed out accumulation of dirt along the edges of the carriageway. "We have approached GHMC authorities and discussed the road safety audit report submitted by NIT, Warangal. The GHMC has agreed to take up sweeping activity on the 11.5-km expressway, but they will do it once in five days only. They will deploy sweeping machines instead of manual sweeping," a senior HMDA engineering official told STOI.

Dont worry about NIT report on PVNR Expressway

If you read the last blog post by us which pointed to a NIT Warangal study on the PVNR Expressway. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) on Tuesday asserted that it had taken sufficient precautions of traffic management and safety aspects for smooth and safe movement of traffic on the PVNR Expressway. Reacting to reports that the NIT, Warangal, in a study, had pointed at deficiencies in the maintenance of the expressway, the HMDA said it had conducted a road safety audit, through an EPC contractor, to identify problems faced by users of the expressway and the safety aspects too.The HMDA claimed that most of the issues raised had been attended to.

“The tree branches on the flyover are removed and damaged street light poles and lights are rectified. The Traffic Police have been alerted and they have increased vigil on the expressway to prevent two/three-wheeler movement on the flyover,” the HMDA said, adding that the NIT suggestion that a noise barrier be provided to one of the buildings close to the flyover at Mehdipatnam was under the consideration of the Project Management Consultant.
