380-metre skywalk to come up in one of Hyderabad’s busiest suburbs at cost of Rs 34 crore

HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) is soon going to build a 380-metre skywalk with a pedestrian corridor and commercial complex at one of the busiest suburbs in the city — Mehdipatnam.

According to HMDA, “The design approach considered the two local roads – Asif Nagar Road and Gudi Malkapur Road (that branch out from the Inner Ring Road).The aim was to provide pedestrian connectivity from the Military Area Side towards the commercial and residential areas that exist near these local roads. Two points of interest were identified – the bus terminal area and the oval junction area. The vertical connectivity towards the boardwalk will be introduced through a glass enclosure which consists of a staircase and lift.”
