The proposed LB Nagar-Hayathnagar double-decker elevated corridor in Hyderabad has received central approval, marking a key step towards easing congestion along NH-65. The approximately Rs 941-crore project is planned to cover 5.5 km, with a road flyover on the middle deck and a Metro rail line above it. The LB Nagar-Hayathnagar aims to improve traffic movement along one of the main routes connecting eastern Hyderabad with the Vijayawada highway and reduce the need for lengthy detours between residential colonies. LB Nagar-Hayathnagar flyover: Key features The proposed corridor combines three levels of transport infrastructure within a single stretch. Integrating the road flyover with the planned metro extension is intended to reduce the complications of developing separate elevated structures along the same busy highway.

LB Nagar-Hayathnagar flyover to improve connectivity across eastern Hyderabad The corridor will serve the busy NH-65 stretch connecting LB Nagar with Hayathnagar and the Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway. The elevated road is intended to separate highway traffic from commercial establishments and local traffic, reducing delays at congested junctions. The project is relevant to residents travelling between LB Nagar, Chintalkunta, Vanasthalipuram and Hayathnagar. Inadequate crossing facilities along the highway can force motorists to take detours exceeding 2 km to reach destinations on the other side. An integrated corridor could shorten these journeys while reducing conflict between vehicles travelling longer distances and those entering or leaving nearby colonies. LB Nagar is already connected to Hyderabad’s existing metro network. Combined with the proposed extension towards Hayathnagar, it would take rail-based public transport farther into the eastern suburbs. Moreover, the upcoming NH-65 expansion between LB Nagar and Malkapur covers a 22.5-km stretch, including a six-lane main carriageway, service roads, drains, footpaths and vehicular underpasses. These projects together could improve traffic movement from Hyderabad’s eastern neighbourhoods towards the outer suburbs and destinations beyond the city. Real estate impact across LB Nagar, Mansoorabad and Hayathnagar As an established residential and commercial hub, LB Nagar could see sustained housing demand as the flyover improves traffic flow through the junction. For Mansoorabad, its position along the eastern residential belt could make it more attractive to buyers who want access to LB Nagar without living in the city’s busiest areas. This could support demand in the surrounding housing market, particularly if the project reduces delays on regular journeys rather than simply shifting congestion to nearby junctions. Vanasthalipuram could benefit from stronger demand for homes in Hyderabad’s eastern suburbs among households travelling towards the city’s established employment centres. For an already developed residential market, improved road movement may support buyer interest in existing homes as well as future projects. In Chintalkunta, the benefits will depend on how easily residents can access nearby homes and local roads from NH-65. Better traffic management could improve the appeal of nearby housing.
