Hyderabad: The radial road development project which was slated to be finished by September 2016 is yet to be completed. 33 radial roads were identified to improve connectivity between city roads and National Highways and State Highways. Out of the 33 radial roads, only mere 12 road works have been completed.

The total length of 33 radial roads is 376 kilometres. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) officials claimed that the negligence of contractor was the reason behind the delay.
