Work on widening the Ranigunj Road Under Bridge (RuB) in Hyderabad is expected to commence within a week, resulting in traffic disruptions for the next six months. The project aims to eliminate a major bottleneck by expanding the existing 13-metre wide carriageway to 22 metres, which will allow for four-way traffic movement.
To manage the flow during construction, officials have implemented several diversions. Vehicles traveling from MG Road toward Paradise and Ranigunj will be redirected toward Distillery Road, passing through another underbridge and Karbala before returning to MG Road. Additionally, buses and trucks will be diverted from Old Ambedkar toward Liberty, Kavadiguda, and Musheerabad, while smaller vehicles will be routed via Karbala and Ranigunj.
To ensure smoother one-way movement at Karbala, an additional three metres of road space has been requested. Authorities stated that if congestion increases near Karbala Maidan, traffic will be further diverted through Rasoolpura and Minister Road. Signboards and flexi boards have already been installed along the stretch to notify motorists of the upcoming changes.
