The 2,000-metric-tonne arch bridge, a vital component of the Mumbai Coastal Road project, departed Mazagon Dock's Nhava unit on Wednesday. The plans are to begin installation of the bridge on April 26 in the morning, with the next day, April 27, set aside as a contingency in case weather circumstances do not favour the erection on April 26.
The arch bridge was anticipated to reach the project's Worli location by late Wednesday night, having already passed Colaba along the western coast by Wednesday evening.
Officials from Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) and Hyundai Development Corporation (HDC), a joint venture involved in the works, said that the main tug is for pulling while the other two are on the sides for supporting the barge during the voyage. Freight Wings Pvt. Ltd. is involved in providing the solutions like jack up, lifting, loadout, barge, marine transportation, and erection for all bridges of this project.
This arch bridge would connect the right-hand arm of the Mumbai coastal road with the Bandra Worli sea link. The earlier plan was to shift the span from Mazagon Dock's Nhava Unit on April 21, but this had to be postponed due to unsuitable climatic conditions. The arch bridge is travelling on a barge for a total of 62 km.
Apart from the RHS arch bridge, which weighs 2000 metric tons, there is also another Similar Left-Hand Side (LHS) bridge, which weighs 2,400 metric tons. There are also other spans of 44 metres, 60 metres, and 46 metres, taking the total steel requirement for all of it to 7000 metric tons. The required steel for the bridges was sourced from two plants, namely Jindal Steel and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India.
