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?

Would you want to be caught in this traffic jam? A typical evening rush hour on one of the roads in New Delhi.
