Staff Reporter

Hyderabad: The long-pending works pertaining to expansion of a part of Chaderghat bridge have been finally taken up by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.

The expansion works are being taken up towards the Koti side of the bridge where the triangular shaped extension will serve as a free left turn for motorists intending to go towards Jaambagh, Moazamjahi Market and Nampally.

“The project is being taken up at a cost of Rs. 65 lakh and is slated to be completed in October, ensuring some relief to motorists,” said P. Panduranga Rao, Engineer-in-chief, GHMC.

The extended part of the bridge will branch out 25 metres parallel to the bridge and the bund and will join the Chaderghat-Putli Bowli main road, allowing motorists to take the left turn easily, he said.

With huge volumes of traffic crossing over the Musi river and moving towards Koti and Nampally, the expansion of the bridge will bring the much needed respite for motorists coming from areas such as Dilsukhnagar, L.B. Nagar, Chanchalguda and Malakpet to name a few.
