The project involves the construction of a 2 plus 2 lane, 3.2 km-long extradosed cable-stayed bridge with a maximum span of 177 metres. The scope also includes approach roads of 0.9 km on the Kakdwip side and 0.65 km on the Sagar Island side, along with comprehensive road infrastructure and advanced systems integration.
Project Scope and Technical Features
The bridge will be equipped with advanced traffic management systems, a bridge health monitoring system, architectural bridge lighting and hybrid street lighting. Essential road furniture will also be installed as part of the project, reflecting L&T’s integrated engineering and technology-led execution capabilities.Once completed, the bridge will provide direct, all-weather connectivity to Sagar Island, which currently depends on ferry services that are frequently disrupted during adverse weather conditions.

Improved connectivity is likely to support trade, tourism and local businesses, contributing to a broader transformation of the island’s socio-economic landscape.The bridge will also facilitate safer and more convenient travel for millions of devotees visiting the annual Ganga Sagar Mela, one of the largest religious gatherings in the country, by reducing dependence on weather-sensitive transport options.
