Hyderabad: Roads linking highways are in a pathetic state

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: If the arterial roads are in a pathetic state, the condition of roads connecting the highways is worse. Mammoth potholes mark the roads leading to the Vijayawada, Nagpur, Mumbai, Warangal and Bengaluru national highways. Sharing his experience of riding on the roads connecting the highways, Mr K. Ravie Kumar, a private company employee, who commutes to his office in SD Road in Secunderabad daily, said the potholes at the Jubilee Bus Station road were deep enough to resemble borewells. Commuters residing in Narapally, Medipally and Ghatkesar said the construction of the elevated corridor has badly damaged the roads since a year. National and state highways engineer-in-chief, Ganapathi Reddy, said that the department had been repairing roads leading to NH 65, and the remaining roads will be fixed once dry conditions return.
