Bridges and Roads
There are many bridges across the river in Hyderabad city. The oldest bridge is called "Purana Pul"(literally meaning 'old bridge'). It was built during the 16th century by the Qutb Shahi sultans of Golconda. Naya Pul (meaning 'new bridge') is located near High court. The other bridges are located in Dabirpura, Chaderghat, Amberpet and Uppal Kalan. The National Highway 9 to Vijayawada and National Highway 202 to Warangal are along the Southern and Northern shores of this river.
Another bridge, near Chillapalli village, Nereducharla mandal of Nalgonda district, was constructed by the Nizam of Hyderabad and this bridge served as a passage for hundreds of vehicles till early 2009. Due to increased traffic, diminished flood withstanding capacity, a new two lane bridge replaced the Nizam's legacy bridge and being operated on toll charges to recover the cost.

“Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
And charging along like troops in a battle,
All through the meadows the horses and cattle;”

“Have faith, and a score of hearts will show
Their faith in your word and deed.”

“All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word “no.” To “no” there is only one answer and that is “yes.” Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
