Soon, a bridge may soar over Hussainsagar

HYDERABAD: Special chief secretary and Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) commissioner Arvind Kumar on Friday indicated that a bridge jutting into Hussainsagar would soon come up at PV Narasimha Rao Marg by the end of 2022.

A Twitter user made the suggestion by posting a picture of Moscow’s famous V-shaped Soaring Bridge and tweeted, “can we try something like this near tank bund? It looks cool!”

Replying to this, Kumar tweeted, “A surprise, well something similar, is on its way at the PVNR marg, jutting into the Hussain Sagar, will be up and running before the end of this year.” Sources said that there is a proposal that is manifesting something like the Soaring Bridge, which will be exclusive to pedestrians and will have a viewing platform.

However, it is currently in the planning stage and officials are yet to formulate a proper design before proceeding further. The Soaring Bridge spreads across the territory of a park and soars over the Moscow River with a V-shape structure and the total length is 244 metres.
