We are pleased to announce that Spannovation has been awarded the contract to redesign the Mithi River Bridge, spanning piers P569 to P578, which will accommodate two lanes of transit as part of the Mumbai Metro Project's Corridor Line-2B, Package C102. This 270-meter-long bridge, featuring a curved alignment with a span arrangement of 75m - 125m - 70m, has a radius of 210 m.
The completion of this bridge is of critical importance to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), as it represents a significant bottleneck in the timely execution of the Corridor. Although the foundations and portions of the substructure have been constructed in accordance with the original design, progress on the superstructure has been delayed due to unresolved technical challenges.
Spannovation has been retained as a sub-consultant to NCC Limited to expedite the design process and secure the necessary approvals from the client. Our scope of work includes redesigning the bridge superstructure, conducting an independent verification of the existing substructure and foundation designs, and proposing any required remedial measures. The redesigned superstructure will feature a cast-in-place segmental construction, utilizing the balanced cantilever method with double-bladed piers.
We look forward to providing further updates as we progress on this vital infrastructure project for the Mumbai Metro.
