Civic authorities have proposed the construction of a skywalk along the Raidurg-T-Hub stretch in Cyberabad to improve pedestrian safety, walkability and traffic flow in one of the city’s busiest IT corridors.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner M. Ramesh conducted a field inspection of the proposed alignment along with senior police and traffic officials. The proposed skywalk is planned from the Raidurg Metro Station, via the IKEA flyover and the IOCL junction, up to T-Hub.
Officials said the inspection focused on identifying pedestrian risk zones and traffic congestion points in the high density corridor, which witnesses heavy footfall from Metro commuters, office goers and visitors to commercial hubs. The proposed facility is aimed at providing a continuous and safe pedestrian network through skywalks and tunnels, while also easing vehicular movement. Authorities estimate that the project could reduce traffic congestion along the stretch by nearly 30%.
The proposal is being developed with support from the Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC) in coordination with multiple private stakeholders. As part of Phase I, a 500-metre-long skywalk has been proposed. Plans are also underway for a 400-metre-long underpass connecting T-Hub with Mindspace C-Gate to improve last mile connectivity.
The proposals are to be submitted to the State government through the Industrial Area Local Authority (IALA) and the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC). Further extensions to nearby office clusters are also under consideration. A convergence meeting with industry representatives and officials from civic and government departments is expected shortly to finalise the plans. The project is proposed to be taken up under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode under the aegis of SCSC, with periodic reviews involving GHMC, TGIIC and IALA.
The site inspection was attended by Kukatpally DCP Ritiraj, Serilingampally Traffic DCP Ranjan Ratan Kumar, Madhapur Traffic DCP Sai Kumar, Traffic ADCP Hanumantha Rao, Madhapur Traffic ACP Chandrasekhar Reddy, Madhapur Traffic Inspector Sridhar Kumar and Raidurgam Traffic Inspector Pawan. Representatives from SCSC and corporate stakeholders including Raheja Mindspace COO Shrawan Gone, Sattva’s Peeyush Aggarwal, Divyasree’s Anurag and Phoenix Group’s Srikanth Badiga were also present, along with SCSC CEO Naved Khan.
