Hyderabad is one of the most developed cities of the country and yesterday it added one more beautiful gem in its cap. We are talking about the Durgam Cheruvu cable bridge which is built across Durgam Cheruvu lake. It connects the Jubilee Hills with Madhapur and will play a major role in decreasing the congestion on the roads. What’s more, it will also improve the connectivity in some areas.

The hanging cable bridge which had already become very popular among the local people was officially opened for the public by KT Rama Rao, the Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD). The Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy and Mayor Bonthu Rammohan also graced the event with their presence. Rao even took to the micro-blogging site Twitter and tweeted that one more jewel has been added to the City of Pearls. The atmosphere was already soothing because of the rainfalls and the dazzling fireworks made the occasion memorable.

Here are some photos of the Durgam Cheruvu cable bridge which looked more beautiful due to the colorful lightning on its inauguration:

Let us tell you a little about this hanging cable bridge which has already made its entry into the record books as it is the longest span concrete deck extra-dosed cable-stayed bridge in the whole world. The span length of the bridge is 233.8 m, the estimated cost of the whole project was Rs. 184 crore and the commuters from Jubilee Hills will have to travel less by 2 kilometers if they are heading to MindSpace and Gachibowli and vice-versa. The first hanging bridge of the Pearl City will also play an important role in decreasing the traffic on Madhapur road and Road no. 36.

This is how it looks like in day time:
