Hyderabad's historic Puranapul Bridge, built in 1578, is showing signs of deterioration with broken railings, vegetation growth and structural damage. Residents and historians say the bridge has suffered decades of neglect and requires urgent restoration to preserve its heritage value
The bridge constructed during the Qutb Shahi era over the Musi is 600 feet long and 54 feet above the river bed and has 22 arches. It is the only bridge in Hyderabad to have escaped destruction in the 1908 floods
