Hyderabad: A link bridge built across Hussain Sagar surplus nala at Ashoknagar will be inaugurated on January 2.
The GHMC has constructed the bridge across Hussain Sagar surplus nala near Ashok Nagar and the facility will provide a direct link between City Central Library, Ashok Nagar, and AV College, Gaganmahal, and is expected to significantly improve connectivity in the central parts of the city.
Constructed at a cost of 6 crore, the bridge is 48 metres long and 12 metres wide, and has been designed as a two-lane structure with a 7.50-metre-wide carriageway. Footpaths on both sides have been provided to ensure safe pedestrian movement, the GHMC said in a press release.
The civic body officials said the new route is signal-free, enabling commuters to reach key locations such as Liberty Junction and the GHMC Head Office within approximately 10 minutes, thereby easing congestion on surrounding arterial roads. The bridge is expected to serve as a key connectivity corridor, improving access to prominent educational and public institutions in the area and contributing to smoother traffic circulation.
