Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporation is likely to commence work on Rajiv Rahadari four-lane road conversion project (Hyderabad-Karimnagar-Ramagundam road) by August 2008. The tendering process for the proposed project is expected to be completed by July 2008.

The proposed road covering a stretch of 207 km will be implemented under public-private partnership on BOT basis, at an estimated cost of Rs.1,085 crore. Three flyovers at Siddipet, Karimnagar and Manthani junctions besides seven major bridges and 18 service roads will be taken up as an integral part of the project. The four-lane project is likely to be completed by December 2011.

The government has already accorded administrative sanction for construction of Sircilla bypass road connecting Karimnagar-Kamareddy road and Sircilla-Siddipet road in the district at an estimated cost of Rs.9.60 crore for the 2008-09 financial year. This apart, another important bypass road is proposed to be constructed from Hyderabad-Karimnagar-Ramagundam road to Karimnagar-Jagtial at another point crossing Karimnagar-Kamareddy road. The project is likely to cost Rs.20 crore.
