R K Puram Bridge

Flyover over the railway line at RK Puram was constructed by the GHMC. Areas at the eastern end of the flyover are under GHMC jurisdiction, while those on its western end are under the jurisdiction of the Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) and the Local Military Authority. [1]

Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has proposed to construct a two-lane railway overbridge (ROB) parallel to the existing ROB at the RK Puram railway gate.
