Penumudi–Puligadda Bridge

The Penumudi-Puligadda Bridge is a road bridge spanning the Krishna River and linking Guntur and Krishna districts in Andhra Pradesh. The structure crosses the water along National Highway 214, forming a major connection through the region.

The bridge was completed in 2006, greatly improving infrastructure between the two districts. Before its construction, ferry services were the main way to cross the river in this area.

Traditional bathing areas lie beneath the bridge, serving as gathering points for worshippers during major religious festivals. These spaces maintain ancient bathing practices along the riverbank.

The bridge includes toll facilities and handles both heavy vehicles and cars, so expect regular traffic. Visitors should anticipate longer crossing times during peak hours and follow safety guidelines.

The structure integrates modern engineering with traditional bathing areas below it, which have been used for religious rituals for generations. This blend of new construction and ancient practice makes it more than just a transportation solution.
