The '''Kota Bridge''' or '''Kota Chambal''' or '''Kota Cable Bridge''' is a cable-stayed bridge in [[Kota, Rajasthan]]. The bridge was inaugurated by [[Prime Minister of India]] [[Narendra Modi]] on 29 August 2017. The bridge is a part of the Kota Bypass and crosses the [[Chambal River]] in the outskirts of the city.

==Funding==
The project is being sponsored by the [[National Highways Authority of India]] (NHAI) in a 2750 million INR investment on the bridge and a 40 months-deadline. The agreement was signed in 2006. Due to delay in Environmental and Wild life clearances it could start in 2007 only. The bridge was scheduled to be opened in November 2012. Later this was pushed to May 2017. It is being constructed by [[Hyundai Engineering (HEC)]] of [[South Korea]].

== Structure ==
This bridge is cable-stayed with single plain suspension with the main span of 350 metres<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbmcw.com/bridges/477-chambal-cable-stayed-bridge-connecting-shores.html|title=Chambal Cable Stayed Bridge Connecting Shores|last=User|first=Super|website=www.nbmcw.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-09-16}}</ref> and lateral spans of 175 metres on either side of the bridge. The bridge is around 60-metre-high from the surface of the Chambal River.Kota's Iconic Engineering Marvel open for commuters on 29 August 2017.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/kota-hanging-bridge-a-boon-for-people-in-hadouti-region/831662/|title=Kota ‘hanging bridge’ a boon for people in Hadouti region|date=2017-08-29|work=The Financial Express|access-date=2017-09-16|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>[http://kotacoaching.in/kota-news/kotas-iconic-engineering-marvel-hanging-bridge-to-open-for-commuters/ Hanging Bridge to open for commuters on 29 August 2017]</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/rajasthan-hanging-bridge-6-lane-kota-chambal-pm-modi/1/1036374.html|title=Connecting Rajasthan: PM Modi inaugurates hanging bridge across Chambal in Kota|access-date=2017-09-16}}</ref>
