Hyderabad is gearing up for the IPL match between the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals, set to take place this Monday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Uppal. To manage the expected traffic surge, the Rachakonda police have released a detailed traffic advisory.
Traffic restrictions will be enforced between 4:00 PM and 11:50 PM. These apply mainly to heavy vehicles such as lorries, dumpers, earth movers, water tankers, and trucks. The goal is to minimize congestion and ensure smooth movement near the stadium.
To avoid traffic near the venue, several diversions have been planned:
– From Ramanthapur to Uppal, vehicles must take Street No. 8 to reach Uppal X Road, then continue via Chengicherla, Boduppal, and Peerzadiguda.
– Vehicles coming from near the Toyota showroom will be redirected through HMDA Bhagyanagar Road toward Nagole.
– Traffic from LB Nagar heading to Nagole or Uppal will be diverted at the Nagole Metro Station U-turn, guiding vehicles through HMDA Layout, Boduppal, and Chengicherla X Road.
– From Tarnaka to Uppal, drivers will be rerouted at Habsiguda X Road via Nacharam, IOCL Cherlapally, Street No. 8, and Metro Pillar 972 U-turn to reach Uppal X Road.
The police are asking commuters to plan ahead, follow the new routes, and cooperate with authorities to avoid delays and ensure public safety.
