The value on the river must stop in the mosarambagh for a long time for operation, as the structure has become too dangerous to hold under the stress caused by the continuous current of the vehicle.
Obviously, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Projects wing has evoked a proposal to close the road for operation from both sides after the recent floods, which must be nodded by the GHMC RV Karnan Commissioner.
This year the bridge was closed several times for operation and also earlier when the holder was immersed in a lot of the river.
The recent inspection of the certified team of structural engineering hired corporations found that the joints of the bridge eroded, so it was dangerous for vehicles. A thorough scientific analysis of structural stability was not possible because the water level was very close to the bridge and the columns were completely immersed. However, the team reportedly recommended closing the bridge for vehicles.
A high level bridge in construction at a place to replace Causeway may take several months to complete. The bridge with two parallel roads was sanctioned in 2022 and only 20% of the work was completed from now on. While the deadline for the road between Amberpet and Malakpet is 31. March 2026, it could last until June next year, the officials say. Part of Malakpet to Amberpet must only begin.
Since the existing bridge serves as an abbreviation between Amberpet, Ramanthapur and Malacpet, its closure is obliged to create problems with free flow of operation. Alternative routes exist through Afzalnagar and Golnaka Bridge and through Malakpet and Kachiguda, but they would be painful to negotiate, especially near Malakpet Road under the bridge, where the operation will get stuck even during slim hours.
However, officials claim that there is no other way than to close the commuter bridge, as it could be increasingly dangerous in the future.
