Durgam Cheruvu Cable Bridge — the spectacular extradosed cable-stayed bridge spanning the serene Durgam Cheruvu (also known as Raidurgam Cheruvu) lake in the HITEC City–Jubilee Hills zone of Hyderabad — is one of the most photographed, most architecturally striking, and most celebrated pieces of modern urban infrastructure in Telangana, inaugurated on 25 September 2020 and immediately earning recognition as a landmark engineering achievement that holds the distinction of being the longest precast segmental span in a concrete extradosed cable-stayed bridge in the world — officially confirmed by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. Constructed at a cost of ₹184 crore, the 764-metre bridge carries six lanes of traffic — three lanes in each direction — across the tranquil waters of Durgam Cheruvu, connecting Jubilee Hills in the east to HITEC City and the Financial District (Gachibowli) in the west, dramatically easing traffic congestion between these two critical zones and reducing what was once a 40-minute crawl through Madhapur to a smooth 10 to 15-minute crossing.
The bridge is located near the landmark Inorbit Mall at Madhapur — one of Hyderabad’s most popular shopping and entertainment destinations — and is flanked on both sides by the gleaming glass towers of HITEC City, WeHub, and the IT Corridor of Madhapur, making it a bridge that encapsulates Hyderabad’s identity as India’s fastest-growing technology capital. Its engineering statistics are genuinely impressive: 764 metres total length, 50 metres in height, 13 stay cables on each pylon face, 428 tonnes of high-tensile strand, 4,800 metric tonnes of steel, 287 tonnes of stay cables, and 26,600 cubic metres of concrete. Dedicated cycling and walking paths along the bridge’s pedestrian footpaths of 1.8 metres width on both sides make it equally accessible to cyclists, joggers, and pedestrians seeking to experience the spectacular views of the lake and the Hyderabad skyline from the bridge deck. A floating restaurant on the lake offers a unique dining experience below the bridge. The bridge has become a popular film shooting location, with multiple Telugu film scenes shot here, and it famously hosted the Gen2 Formula E car unveiling ahead of the 2023 Hyderabad ePrix.
