25 Dec 2024 CW Team

Chaitanya Projects Consultancy, a visionary leader in integrated infrastructure consultancy across India, is developing the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for two signature bridges that will transform connectivity in the Chilika Lake region under the Bharatmala Project. These bridges will provide seamless and sustainable connectivity between Satapada and Janhikuda, addressing long-standing transportation challenges and driving economic and community development in Odisha.

Chilika Lake, renowned as the largest coastal lagoon in India, has long grappled with unreliable transportation, impacting both local communities and tourism. The proposed bridges will seamlessly integrate modern infrastructure with ecological preservation, ensuring reliable year-round access while respecting the natural beauty of Chilika.

“We are honored to contribute to a project of such transformative potential,” said Mr. Sanjay Kumar Sinha, Founder and Managing Director of Chaitanya Projects Consultancy. “The DPR for these signature bridges will pave the way for sustainable progress, connecting communities, unlocking economic opportunities, and boosting tourism. This initiative reflects our commitment to delivering impactful infrastructure that harmonizes with its surroundings and empowers generations to come.”

Designed with eco-friendly and disaster-resilient solutions, the project emphasizes sustainability at every stage. Beyond improving connectivity, the bridges will create economic opportunities, stimulate tourism, and uplift livelihoods, aligning Chilika with Odisha’s broader economic vision.

Chaitanya Projects Consultancy’s expertise in innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions ensures that this project will not only meet immediate needs but also preserve the region’s ecological significance for the future.
