Construction tenders were opened in early 2019 and L&T (Larson and Toubro) ended up winning the contract and the construction began on 9 March 2019. The bridge was supposed to be completed in April/May 2020 and opening in June 2020. However due to the Covid-19 Global Pandemic, construction finished in August with opening set to be done by Telangana Minister K. T. Rama Rao and Minister of State for Home Affairs, Government of India G. Kishan Reddy on September 25. The bridge is the longest bridge in Hyderabad.[6][7][8]
