2,000-Ton Arch Bridge Sets Sail for Mumbai Coastal Road

The much-anticipated 2,000-metric-ton arch bridge, a vital element of the Mumbai coastal road project, embarked on its journey from Mazagon Dock?s Nhava. Scheduled to commence its erection by the morning of April 26, with April 27 kept as a contingency in case of adverse weather conditions, the project marks a significant milestone in Mumbai's infrastructure development.

The arch bridge had already traversed Colaba along the western shore, making steady progress towards its destination at the project?s Worli site. Due to its lack of propulsion, the barge carrying the bridge relies on tugboats for propulsion. Officials from Hindustan Construction Company and Hyundai Development Corporation, part of the joint venture overseeing the project, explained that one main tug pulls the barge, while two others provide support during the voyage.

Freight Wings Pvt Ltd plays a crucial role in providing solutions for this ambitious project, including jack-up, lifting, loadout, barge, marine transportation, and erection for all bridges involved.

This arch bridge serves as a pivotal link, connecting the right-hand side arm of the Mumbai coastal road with the iconic Bandra Worli sea link. Initially planned for relocation on April 21 from Mazagon Dock's Nhava Unit, adverse weather conditions necessitated a postponement.

The 2,000-ton arch bridge signifies a monumental engineering feat, spanning 62 kilometers from Nhava to Worli, solidifying its status as India's largest bowstring arch on open sea. With fabrication involving the efforts of 700 workers and steel sourced from Jindal Steel and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, the project underscores the nation's prowess in infrastructure development.

In related news, recent concerns have been raised regarding mobile connectivity within the Mumbai coastal road tunnel, affecting travel times by 5-10 minutes. Urgent collaboration with OSR Teleservices Pvt Ltd is being urged to enhance services and generate revenue for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
