The Four-Laning of Hyderabad-Yadgiri Section of NH-163 (old NH-202) in the state of Telangana, developed under NHDP Phase-III on a Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer (DBFOT) Toll Basis covers a stretch from Km 18.600 to Km 54.254 and follows the existing alignment to a major extent but deviates at three locations: Aushapur bypass, Ghatkesar bypass, and Bhongir bypass. The alignment passes through a mix of plain and rolling terrain, including urban and rural areas. Land use along the existing carriageway is primarily urban/rural settlements and agriculture.The villages and towns along the project highway have experienced economic prosperity due to commercial activities. The road connects to the Yadagirigutta temple, a significant pilgrimage site in South India, and also serves commercial traffic related to sand mines in Warangal district.The project corridor encompasses 3 bypasses with a combined length of approximately 16.100 km, 2 railway overbridges (ROBs), 5 major bridges, 1 minor bridge, and 2 truck laybys. Additionally, the total length of the service road is 45.594 km, ensuring uninterrupted and superior driving comfort for road users without any diversions or blockages.The road project was executed by M/s Hyderabad Yadgiri Tollway Pvt Ltd. It commenced tolling operations on December 10, 2012, and received its completion certificate on June 27, 2015.<h4>Benefits of the Project Road</h4>Enhanced Connectivity: The road project has greatly improved connectivity by linking previously isolated regions with major urban centres. This enhanced connectivity facilitates the smoother movement of goods, services, and people, fostering economic growth and development.Improved Safety: Safety enhancements, including improved signage, better lighting, wider lanes, and the installation of safety measures like Power Blinkers at Major Junctions and water-filled drum barriers, have resulted in a notable reduction in accidents and fatalities on the road. These improvements make travel safer for all road users.Reduced Travel Times: The modernization of the project road has led to a substantial reduction in travel times, benefiting both daily commuters and long-haul transportation. This increased efficiency not only saves time but also reduces fuel consumption, contributing to cost savings and environmental benefits.Economic Growth: The upgraded road infrastructure has attracted investments and stimulated economic growth by making the region more accessible to businesses. This, in turn, has led to job creation and increased economic opportunities for local communities, positively impacting their quality of life.<h4>Impact on Road Users</h4>Commuters: Commuters now enjoy shorter travel times and increased safety, leading to an improved quality of life. Reduced travel times and enhanced safety measures make daily commuting more efficient and secure.Truck Drivers: Long-haul truck drivers benefit from decreased transit times and lower operating costs, which enhance the efficiency of the logistics industry.
