An international competition will be launched next month to choose the team to design and construct Mumbai's 22.5km Trans Harbour Link Bridge. The four lane highway will be India's longest sea link, connecting South Mumbai to Nhava in Navi Mumbai. It will cross the harbour in spans of 50m to 150m at a typical elevation of 12m, except for three navigation spans with 25m clearances. These three are envisaged as using a precast post-tensioned extradosed segmental box girder deck system with single layer central cable stays.
Client for the US$400 million project is the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation. Offers will be invited for construction to the bidders' own designs on a lump sum turnkey basis, to be financed by MSRDC. Bidders may also offer a financing package.
The project information document will be available from MSRDC between 31 March and 31 May.
For more than 31 years, Bridge Design & Engineering has been a trusted source of new insights, knowledge, and connections for the global bridge community. With the rapid shifts in the publishing landscape and increasing costs, sustaining the printed magazine at the high level of quality our readers expect has become increasingly challenging. After careful consideration, Hemming Group Ltd has made the difficult decision to discontinue the print publication.
You will continue to have full access to the Bridge Design and Engineering website - including the complete archive. Although the site will no longer be updated, the archive remains a rich resource of engineering knowledge and project insight. You can also continue to access the Bridge Directory, IBIG, through the website or directly at: https://www.bdeibig.com/
While this marks the end of an era, it also opens a new chapter, one focused on strengthening the connections, collaboration, and technical excellence that our community thrives on. Our energy and investment will now be directed toward expanding and enhancing our industry leading events that bring the bridge community together.
Our flagship events Bridges and Bridges Scotland will continue to thrive as essential annual gatherings for bridge owners, managers, designers, engineers, and suppliers. These events play a vital role in sharing innovation, showcasing best practice and emerging technologies, and fostering meaningful collaboration across the industry. We are excited to build on their success and will further develop these events in the years ahead.
