Background

Vehicles going from Karimnagar town towards Warangal and Hyderabad had to cross Alugunoor Bridge causing frequent traffic problems. This bridge was constructed with a length of 500 meters at a cost of 183 crore rupees to solve the traffic problem. After crossing the Maneru river from Karimnagar Kaman through the housing board, it linked to the Warangal highway from Sadashivapalli under Manakondur constituency. This also reduces the distance to Warangal by seven kilometers. Built with foreign technology to attract tourists, this cable bridge has 220 meter high pylons on both sides and connects the pylons with 136 segments without any hindrance to boat travel in Maneru River.[2]

Construction

After the full amount of funds were sanctioned in late 2017, construction began.[3] The project was jointly executed by Tata Projects Limited and Gülermak, a Turkey based firm.[4] The bridge was inaugurated on 21 June 2023 after undergoing safety and load testing.[5]

As a tourist place

The cable bridge has become a popular tourist destination in the district.[6]
