An aerial view of cable suspension bridge across Durgam Cheruvu in Hyderabad will be a cynosure of all eyes. The bridge was built to reduce the distance between Jubilee Hills and Madhapur and ease traffic congestion in peak timings. It is the first-ever cable-stayed bridge of the city.
The 233.8 metre long iconic bridge was tested and approved by a German lab for constructing the bridge with highest safety standards. The overpass is ready to enthral the whole world with its multi-colour lighting. It will be called as “The Lime Light Bridge.”
The first-ever cable-stayed bridge of the city at Durgam Cheruvu, which is as much publicised for its aesthetic value as for its commute facility, might be opened for traffic by July-end.
Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development, K.T. Rama Rao tweeted a video clip of the bridge on Monday, and captioned it saying, “The world’s largest extradosed cable-stayed bridge in concrete across Durgam Cheruvu lake in Hyderabad is getting ready for inauguration soon.” and hash-tagged it as #HappeningHyderabad.
The bridge works has not progressed much since then, and it will take about a month’s time for the remaining works to be completed, they said.
“After lockdown, the agency did not do any work citing its internal policy. After continuous persuasion, the work restarted slowly two to three weeks ago,” an official informed.
Since then, part of the road work has been completed. Lighting too has been installed partially, and a few more finishing works are pending, which will need 30 working days, officials informed.
For the bridge to be launched, however, the flyover under construction on Road No.45, Jubilee Hills needs to be ready, which may take more than two months’ time.
Once complete in all respects, the cable stayed bridge will shorten the distance between Madhapur and Jubilee Hills and connect the Hitech city and Financial district with the rest of the city. It is also expected to ease traffic congestion on Road No. 36 and Madhapur.
Length of the bridge alone is 426 metres, and coupled with approaches, it will reach up to 736 metres. Being constructed at a cost of ₹184 crore, the structure is being touted as the longest extradosed cable-stayed bridge in the world.
