Khammam: The cable bridge over Munneru river will become an additional attraction for Khammam city when it is inaugurated, likely next month. The Rs 180-crore bridge on the Suryapet-Aswaraopet road, is similar to Durgam Cheruvu bridge in Hyderabad.
The Munneru bridge with 300 metres of cable and 120 metres of RCC has been contracted to Ashoka Buildcon Limited.
Out of total 16 foundations, works of 12 including bed blocks and slag segments are ready. The remaining work on the rope bridge was speeded up with a target of launching it in January.
Agriculture minister Tummala Nageswara Rao directed officials to complete the work on a war footing. He instructed officials to fortify the old bridge also for the diversion of traffic during rains.
