Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) in a joint venture with DSD Brouckenbau GmbH, Germany and VNR Infrastructures, has bagged a Rs 987-crore order from the Northeast Frontier Railway to construct a rail-cum-road bridge across the Brahmaputra, near Dibrugarh, Assam.
HCC share in the order is 51 per cent, DSD Brouckenbau 20 per cent and VNR Infrastructures 29 per cent.
The Bogibeel rail-cum-road bridge will be a double-deck bridge with two railway tracks on the lower deck and a three lane road on the upper deck. The road level will be 10.5 metre above the railway line. The total length of the bridge will be 4.315 km. This will be the fourth largest bridge in the country and the longest bridge over the Brahmaputra, HCC said.
Mr Arun Karmabelkar, President, HCC said, “This is one of the modern bridges and HCC along with its joint venture partners is committed to build a world class infrastructure for the Railways. The work on this superstructure will be completed in 48 months.”
