Aramghar Flyover Poses Safety Risks for Nehru Zoo Visitors
A big bridge called the Aramghar flyover was built in Hyderabad to help cars move more easily.
But now, people who visit the Nehru Zoo nearby are having a hard time crossing the road safely.
There are no safe places to cross, and cars are going very fast, which makes it dangerous for families, especially kids and older people.
Some people think a special bridge just for people to walk on would help keep everyone safe.
The zoo is a very popular place, so lots of people visit every day, and it's important to make sure they can cross the road without getting hurt.
The Aramghar flyover, opened in January 2023, has caused safety issues for Nehru Zoo visitors due to lack of pedestrian crossings.
Increased vehicle speeds near the flyover's end pose a significant risk to zoo visitors, especially children and the elderly.
The 4.1-km flyover connects Bahadurpura, Kishanbagh, and Puranapul, but its proximity to the zoo has led to traffic congestion and safety concerns.
A foot-over-bridge (FoB) is proposed to ensure the safety and convenience of zoo visitors.
The flyover's construction removed previous safe crossing options, exacerbating the problem.
