Bridge across Krishna to meet long-pending demand of Telangana, AP people
The iconic cable-stayed cum suspension bridge approved by the Centre across the Krishna river will meet a long pending demand of the people of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
The Somasila-Siddeswaram bridge will cut short the distance and significantly reduce the travel time between Telangana state and Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh.
The distance by road between Kollapur in Nagarkurnool district of Telangana and Atmakur in Nandyal district of Andhra Pradesh is about 175 km.
Once the bridge is completed, those travelling from Hyderabad to Kadapa, Chittoor and Tirupati in the neighbouring state will not have to take a detour through Kurnool.
