Scope: construction of a double-decker cable-stayed iconic bridge between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh over the Krishna River
The Rs 1,082.56 crore bridge, which will connect Somashila in Telangana with Sangameshwar in Andhra Pradesh, has faced delays for two years due to various issues.
The bridge is anticipated to boost environmental and temple tourism in the region, provide a safer commuting route, and reduce travel distance between Telangana and Tirupati by 70-80 kilometers, thereby cutting travel time by at least 90 minutes.
The bridge will be situated near the Srisailam reservoir and Nallamala forest, linking the Lalitha Someshwara Temple in Telangana with the Sangameshwar Temple in Andhra Pradesh.
