Gadwal: The Telangana Government has approved ₹121.92 crores to build a High-Level Road Bridge (HLRB) over the Krishna River, located downstream of the Priyadarshini Jurala Project. This new bridge will link Revulapally in Dharur Mandal, Jogulamba Gadwal District, with Nandimalla in Amarchinta Mandal, Wanaparthy District. The Transport, Roads & Buildings Department issued an official order (G.O.Rt.No.292) on July 1, 2025, granting the administrative go-ahead for this project.
The news has brought joy to the Gadwal constituency, particularly among farmers and local leaders, who have long awaited better river connectivity.
Ministers Acknowledged for Their Commitment
Smt. Sarithamma, Congress Gadwal Constituency In-Charge, expressed deep gratitude to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy, District In-Charge Minister Damodar Narasimha, District Ministers Jupally Krishna Rao and Vakiti Srihari, and MP Mallu Ravi. She praised their dedication and quick action in addressing this long-standing issue by issuing the order soon after inspecting the project area.
Sarithamma noted that during a recent visit to the Jurala Project, Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy promised the issuance of the Government Order for the bridge. He kept his promise, with the order being promptly released, marking the commencement of this vital infrastructure project.
In a statement from the Congress Party Camp Office in Gadwal, Sarithamma thanked the government on behalf of the constituency’s people and farmers, viewing this as a crucial step for regional development.

A Bridge for Growth and Connectivity
