Its also claimed to be the longest flyover in Asia. Not sure of that title though. At least for the time being, its the longest in India.
Name : PV Narasimha Rao Expressway (PVNR Expressway)
Where: Hyderabad, India
Total length: 11.63 kms
Connects : Mehdipatnam to Aramghar
Total cost: Rs 600 crores
The ramps for the expressway are yet to be built. It means, once you get on to the flyover, there is no getting off till the end. Also access is restricted to four wheelers only. Trucks and autos are not allowed.
The maximum speed permissible on the road is 60kmph. Are you kidding me?

It is a great achievement
I only hope sincere and honest material has gone in to building the flyover.
Pictures look beautiful.

Yup, hopefully there has been honesty in the building. Hope to travel by the flyover on my next trip to hyd.
Looks pretty impressive!
Oh ya, i love the way it snakes through some of the most congested parts of the city.
4-wheelers only, no autos: wait for 6 months!
Speed limit 60: there is a flyover in Mumbai we call the JJ flyover; the speed limit there is 40 kmph!
Hyderabad is undergoing a rapid transformation. Brand new airport and now this….good to know.
Cheers,
Quirky Indian
I hope the autos would never be let on to the flyover. They are a real menace.
So, there is a competition to this one in Mumbai when it comes to speed
Oh ya, also a 160km outer ring road is also coming up, its also a beauty. Am excited.
Hey, when did you change your layout? looks gorgeous! Classy
I’m all too interested in these kind of posts and blogs which chronicles the infrastructural upliftment of India. Hyderabad usre is a place other Indian cities should look up to if they want to become global cities. I appreciate the administrators and planners for this peach of a flyover.
Well Liju, 60km/hr is good enough speed on urban settings even if it is an access-controlled flyover.
I played around with lots of templates before settling for this one. Glad you liked it.
I get all my updates from Skyscrapercity. I see you are a member there too. I hardly contribute anything, but read up all the posts. That site rocks.
Fortunately post Chandrababu naidu, YSR did keep up the focus on infrastructure. Hope it continues in future too.
impressive. There is an expressway (elevated) to be opened in Bangalore in few months towards electronic city. I guess its around 10KMs long.
