The '''Karimnagar Cable Bridge''' is a [[cable-stayed bridge]] in [[Karimnagar]], [[Telangana]], [[India]]. The bridge is located near the outskirts of Karimnagar town.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Vehicles going from Karimnagar town towards [[Warangal]] and [[Hyderabad]] have to cross Alugunoor Bridge causing frequent traffic problems. This bridge was constructed with a length of 500 meters at a cost of 183 crore rupees to solve the traffic problem. After crossing the Maneru river from Karimnagar Kaman through the housing board, it will be linked to the [[National Highway 563 (India)|Warangal highway]] from Sadashivapalli under [[Manakondur]] constituency. This will also reduce the distance to Warangal by seven kilometers. Built with foreign technology to attract tourists, this cable bridge has 220 meter high [[pylons]] on both sides and connects the pylons with 136 segments without any hindrance to boat travel in Maneru River.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://karimnagar.telangana.gov.in/karimnagar-cable-bridge/ | title=Karimnagar Cable Bridge &#124; Karimnagar &#124; India }}</ref><br />
