In the first phase, a 24-km road would be laid from Gachibowli to Shamshabad, which is scheduled to be completed by February next year.
In the second phase, a road from Shamshabad to Pedda Amberpet in one stretch and from Narsingi to Patencheru in another, in all 60 km, would be laid at an estimated cost of over Rs 2,440 crore. Five agencies are working on this project on a build, operate and transfer basis. This is likely to be ready by 2010.
The third phase would see laying of a 70-km road connecting Patencheru and Pedda Amberpert. The government would take financial assistance from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and would soon call for tenders for the project.
