Outer Ring Road, Hyderabad
The Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (HORR), officially known as Nehru Outer Ring Road is a 158-kilometre (98 mi), eight-lane ring road expressway encircling Hyderabad, capital of the Indian state of Telangana. The expressway was designed for speeds up to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph), later increased to 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph). A large part, 124 kilometres (77 mi) (covering urban nodes viz., HITEC City, Financial District, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Genome Valley, Hardware Park, Telangana State Police Academy, Singapore Financial District, and Games village) of the 158 kilometres (98 mi) was opened by December 2012.
It gives easy connectivity between NH 44, NH 65, NH 161, NH 765 and NH 163 from Hyderabad to Vijayawada and Warangal as well as state highways leading to Vikarabad Nagarjuna Sagar and Karimnagar/Mancherial. The Hyderabad Outer Ring Road also helps reduce the travel time from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport to cities like Nizamabad and Adilabad as it connects to NH44. The expressway is fenced and 33 radial roads connect it with the Inner Ring Road, and the upcoming Regional Ring Road.
The Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (ORR) project was conceptualised in 2001 by the Andhra Pradesh government under CM N. Chandrababu Naidu. PM Manmohan Singh laid foundation stone in 2006 along with Union Minister of Urban Development Jaipal Reddy and Andhra Pradesh CM Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in 2006 and phased openings until 2018, connecting key airport/city nodes and transforming Hyderabad's growth, though it's also known for safety issues. Other ORRs exist (like in Bengaluru), and "ORR" can also refer to corporate entities like ORR Protection, but Hyderabad's is the most prominent in general discussions. Construction for the project commenced in 2006 and reaching completion in 2018. Originally, this project was taken up by HUDA (Hyderabad Urban Development Authority) through its internal funding without political intervention of state government. On 3 January 2006, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh laid the foundation stone for the proposed Outer Ring Road (Phase I) near Shamshabad on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
In December 2022, Government of Telangana planned to monetise the outer ring road through the toll-operate-transfer (TOT) model and generate revenues and called for tenders.
The First Phase land required was 750 acres (3.0 km2), out of which the private land acquired was 500 acres (2.0 km2). The land required for Second Phase is about 5,500 acres (22 km2), of which the Govt. land is about 1,000 acres (4.0 km2). The estimated Cost of Acquisition was ₹250 Crores.
The traffic studies on NH 44 and NH 65 concluded that a four- or six-lane road is due. The traffic movement on the existing inner ring road proved that the existing four-lane road was inadequate. Due to the anticipated growth in the region and the development of proposed satellite townships around the ring road and beyond, an eight-lane carriageway was planned with a design life of 20 years.
The conclusion was to develop a highway with access control provides highway grade separations or interchanges for all intersecting highways. Once it had been decided to develop the route as an expressway, all intersecting highways should be terminated, rerouted or provided with a grade separation. The proposed corridor was access-controlled and limited access was to be provided at National Highway/SHI Major road crossings. A two-lane service road designed to carry two-way traffic, was proposed on both sides of the corridor. Low level underpasses were to be provided for connecting both the service roads at every 1–2 kilometres (0.62–1.24 mi), where the terrain permits.
Much before the outer ring road (ORR) became a ring road, it underwent several changes in the road alignments. Influential farmers and realtors changed the alignment to best serve their interests at the cost of small and marginal farmers.
