Chambal Hanging Bridge
Modern Landmark: The Chambal Hanging Bridge is a breathtaking cable-stayed bridge inaugurated in 2017 by PM Narendra Modi. It serves as a vital link on the East-West Corridor, bypassing the heavy traffic of Kota city. The bridge is an engineering masterpiece that spans the deep gorge of the Chambal River. Its construction faced many challenges, including a tragic collapse in 2009, but it now stands as a symbol of resilience. The bridge is designed to protect the local wildlife; it features noise barriers so that the gharials in the river below are not disturbed. From the bridge, one can get a panoramic view of the Chambal ravines which are famous for their rugged beauty. At night, the bridge is beautifully illuminated, making it look like a string of pearls across the dark water. It has quickly become a top tourist attraction for those who love modern infrastructure and photography. While it is a functional highway bridge, tourists often stop at designated spots nearby to admire its scale. It is one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the country.
