The Thane Creek Bridge project is a remarkable endeavour that culminated in the creation of the iconic Basket Handle Steel Arch Bridge. This extraordinary steel structure spans 100 metre across the picturesque Thane Creek, serving as a vital link between Kalwa and Thane. The project focused on constructing a dedicated bridge over Thane Creek, enabling unidirectional traffic flow from Thane to Kalwa. The project's fundamental features encompassed a multipronged strategy for efficient traffic management and connectivity enhancement. The project’s centrepiece, the Basket Handle Steel Arch Bridge, isn’t just a functional connection; it’s a fusion of architectural marvel and engineering excellence. The Thane Creek Bridge project, initiated by the Thane Municipal Corporation, emerged as a transformative solution to enhance traffic circulation and alleviate congestion at pivotal junctions. The project’s completion, despite setbacks from delayed NOCs, is a testament to the execution team's strategic prowess and unwavering commitment to excellence.The project was executed through Engineering, Procurement, and Contracts (EPC) mode. This framework facilitated a systematic approach to design, procurement, and construction, ensuring comprehensive project management. The project adopted a pioneering launching methodology, signifying the assembly of bridge segments on-site before their placement. This technique harmonised construction speed with minimal disruption to the creek's navigation and the surrounding environment. The total project cost, including design, fabrication, erection, and associated works, amounted to Rs 1.83 billion.Two vital packages for the Bundelkhand Expressway project by APCO InfratechAPCO Infratech was entrusted with the responsibility of executing two vital packages of the Bundelkhand Expressway project in Uttar Pradesh.
