Rao complimented the GHMC engineering team for the good job done in completing the structure with architectural lighting. The video of the structure has already gone popular on social media and many are appreciating the efforts of the municipal corporation in executing the project.

The GHMC is already conducting trial runs of the architectural lighting system on the bridge which are into the final stages.

The imported architectural lighting system has been installed in association with a private agency and is expected to be an added attraction on the structure during holidays, festivals and special occasions such as Deepavali and Independence Day. The multi-coloured lighting will have different themes to suit the occasion.
