HYDERABAD: The construction of Telangana’s first-ever skywalk is underway at the busy Uppal Junction. The structure would emerge as the second engineering marvel in the city after the Durgam Cheruvu cable-bridge. The 660-metre-long skywalk would open to six sides of the road and integrate with the Uppal Metro Station at the concourse level.
The skywalk’s construction began a few days ago, and is expected to be completed within a year. The project is being taken up by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) at an estimated cost of `26 crore.
