The Kota Bridge or Kota Chambal or Kota Cable Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge in Kota, Rajasthan. Initiated in 2006, the project faced a major setback when a span collapsed in 2009, killing 48 people and delaying completion until 2017. The bridge now stands as a six-lane engineering feat spanning 1,115 meters across the Chambal River. The bridge was inaugurated by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on 29 August 2017. It is a part of the Kota Bypass and crosses the Chambal River in the outskirts of the city.
