NH-163 Bridge Delays Frustrate Public in Warangal District
Imagine a highway with old bridges needing to be replaced with new ones.
The government gave money to fix them, but the work is taking a long time.
This is causing problems for people who use the highway.
Some bridges are closed or have bad roads, and temporary bridges have even collapsed.
People are asking the government to hurry up and finish the construction so they can travel safely and easily, especially with a big fair coming up.
Construction delays on NH-163 bridges cause inconvenience in Warangal district.
₹208 crore allocated in 2022 for replacing old bridges with modern structures.
Revised bridge design for Katakshapur Lake approved in February 2025, construction yet to begin.
Construction awarded to Vruddhi Infrastructure Private Limited in July 2022; completion scheduled for July 2024.
Collapsed temporary and dilapidated bridges further disrupt travel in the region.
