SURAT: Commuters in Pal and Umara areas in the city are upset following the Surat Municipal Corporation's (SMC) public works committee has deferred its decision on approving the Rs 88 crore worth of the proposed low-level bridge on river Tapi connecting Pal and Umara.

Official sources said the SMC's bridge cell has proposed a low-level bridge across the river connecting the areas of Pal and Umara in order to ease the traffic movement on the Sardar Bridge and the upcoming cable-stayed bridge.

Along with the bridge proposal, the bridge cell has sought the permission of demolishing the residential structures coming in the way of the approach road of the proposed bridge in Umara.

However, the residents of Umara led by some of the political leaders have opposed the proposed alignment for the construction of the approach road of the bridge connecting Pal and Umara.

Sources said that the bridge cell has zeroed in on both the locations in Umara and Pal after a thorough study. However, it is not possible for the civic body to change the existing location of the bridge. There is one option left with the civic body but it is not viable as the Bhata area is still not come under the city limit.

A senior officer with the bridge cell told TOI "It is a question of only seven to eight properties falling under the line of the approach road at Umara. We have to look at the larger interest of the people in both the areas as this proposed bridge is going to ease the traffic problems"

What a amazing speed kept by the contractors of Bhatar and Sosyo circle flyovers. It's like never before. They have start construction just quickly after they were appointed as developer by SMC.
SMC's job also highly appreciated here. They have announced these project in Budget and in just 2 months, work is on full swing.

SURAT: The Surat Municipal Corporation ( SMC) on Monday received a lowest tender of Rs 70 crore for the construction of the prestigious bridge on river Tapi connecting Adajan Patia and Chowk Bazaar where the 135-year-old Hope bridge once stood.

In a move to appease the heritage lovers and the denizens in the diamond city who lost their legal battle in the Gujarat High Court and the Supreme Court to save the 135-year-old historical bridge from demolition, the SMC's bridge department came up with a unique design for the new bridge that would replicate the Hope bridge structure.

Tendering is not a big issue, if their will be any fluctuation in Bid price & Expected amount, then SMC & Contractor can negotiate it... And if its matter of bridges, then how we can under estimate SMC

But our Cable Stayed bridge delayed for 5 years due to high tenders

[MeetRathore]

Reason--- EA (Estimated Amount) of tender was not right. Later on then several changes were made in Estimated Amount and then tenders were brought up again for the Bidding Process... thats why it got delayed...

Cable-stayed bridge will not be ready before polls

SURAT: Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) is upbeat over completing its dream project - the cable-stayed bridge by May 2013. The first phase of the work for the project is almost over. However, the ruling BJP will not be able to showcase it as its achievement during the assembly elections to be held by December 2012.

Executive engineer SMC BK Ghadiya said, "We have completed laying foundations of piers at the 16 proposed locations. About 40 per cent of the work is over."

At present, work on the approach roads on both sides of river at Adajan and Athwalines is going on. The construction work of super structure at Adajan is also on. The work for the main portion of the Rs 143.65 crore bridge - 998 metre-long with a middle cable portion of 300 metres - has begun while that for sub and super structure is likely to start his month.

"The cable portion will take time. We would need to tread cautiously. Load bearing and balancing need to be done properly. We feel final portion of the bridge will take 10 months' time," said Jatin Shah, city engineer, SMC.

The SMC had assured people that the bridge would be completed within 30 months, i.e., by April-May 2013.
Now, the work has gathered speed for the first of its kind bridge in the country.

"The bridge will be Surat's shaan," said Bhimji Patel, chairman, standing committee, SMC.
