Aleru Bridge

Part of Hyderabad to Warangal route is part of National Highway 163.  The development of ring-road has made the journey smooth and fast.  I am moving by a four-wheeler on this route regularly since 1997. There are trees on either side of the road. 

In the months of July till February the greenery is soothing and the gulmohar trees make the journey on this road a pleasant trip.  As part of developing infrastructure there is great deal of change on this road with extension of width of the road and ring road formation.  Across the stretch of 135 kilometers we touch many villages and towns.  The development of ring-road has completely excluded passage through Bhongir, Ghatkesar and Bibinagar.

 Though many changes for good have happened on this road one thing hasn’t changed.  The bridge at Aleru is very narrow and the boundary pillars are far apart. It is dangerous walk for pedestrians.      

Aleru Bridge

  In the past 17 years few bridges and culverts were repaired and widened and railings built.  But this bridge somehow missed any betterment. Moreover few pillars are damaged due to hit by vehicles.  If it is a heavy vehicle only one vehicle can move on this bridge.  Others have to wait until it is cleared off.  In the recent past one Warangal MP’s vehicle had drifted from the bridge and fell down and MP sustained injuries too.  Even after that no action is taken to make it safer for travel.  Now that Telangana government is formed and boasting about wonderful development, I hope that this bridge at Aleru will be widened and made safe for travelers on four-wheelers and pedestrians too.
