The complex project includes a four-lane bidirectional flyover from Shilpa Layout over Gachibowli junction to either side of ORR, a two-lane unidirectional flyover for the up ramp towards Mindspace and a two-lane unidirectional flyover for the down ramp from Mindspace. The project approved by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) was taken up under SRDP.

With the completion of the flyover, connectivity between Hitec City, Financial District and Hyderabad Knowledge City is expected to be smooth. The flyover also connects Punjagutta Inner Ring Road (IRR) to the ORR, allowing a smooth commute between the core parts of the city.
Commuters to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) from older parts of the city may take this route now from Punjagutta, Jubilee Hills, and Durgam Cheruvu without facing traffic hassles.
