GHMC Makes KBR Park One-Way Traffic System Permanent
The one-way traffic plan around KBR Park worked well during its trial.
The government now plans to keep it in place permanently.
Workers are improving nearby junctions and adding crossings and other safety features.
A new elevated road is also being built to help cars bypass five busy intersections.
Officials say the flyover should reduce travel time, fuel use, and congestion.
Its elevated design is expected to avoid some road widening and land-acquisition costs.
Three property owners have given up land for nearby road improvements in return for development rights.
The changes are intended to make daily travel safer and faster.
The state government plans to make the successful experimental one-way traffic system around KBR Park permanent.
