/3 So, having an extra-dosed bridge might make more sense as compared to a cable-stayed bridge with has a higher tower height or a girder bridge, which might give lower clearance. Overall - an exciting decision. And looking forward to the #JogighopaMMLP -the 1st international one

[The Civil Engineer @DSCivilEngineer]

Awesome ! 🧵1/ An #ExtradosedBridge combines capabilities of a #GirderBridge and a #CableStayedBridge. The Bhupen Hazarika Setu (or the Dhola-Sadiya Setu connecting Arunachal Pradesh and Assam is a girder bridge. The Sudarshan Setu (Okha-Beyt Dwarka) is a cable-stayed bridge ..

“Paths forged for memories that last.”

#NHIDCL is actively engaged in the construction of a new 2-lane extra-dosed cable stayed Bridge with its approaches from Km 0 to Km 4.3 across the River Brahmaputra on NH-17 at Jogighopa in #Assam.

2/ One of the advantages of an extra-dosed bridge is that it can have shorter towers -something that might be required in that region. For example, in this case, #Jogighopa is the site for a #MultiModalLogsiticsPark - #MMLP where many structures would be built for logistics ops..

@NHAI_Official Length Limit -essential where there are sharp turns, maybe hairpin bends. I wonder @NHAI_Official if there are cameras for monitoring vehicle lengths before entering such road sections -and subsequently alerting traffic officials? Let us know. Meanwhile: https://t.co/axBWNpdLkp

Looking forward to such upgrades all along Bharat's Western and Eastern borders with better continuous surveillance, threat monitoring, and of course, the accompanying local commerce. Kudos.

Hon'ble Prime Minister inaugurated the upgradation of 102 km long Sriganganagar-Raisinghangar section of NH-911 in #Rajasthan. The section not only boosts regional mobility but also enhances connectivity for strategic defence purposes. #BuildingANation

[The Civil Engineer @DSCivilEngineer]

/3 (f) parking in lookout points, (g) guardrails with monitoring cameras at regular intervals and at key places such as bends, (h) landslide alerting mechanism ....these are just a few things involved in such a project. It is complex. This is what makes #CivilEngineering great!

[The Civil Engineer @DSCivilEngineer]

This is no mean feat. 🧵1/ (a) Retaining walls have to be constructed/strengthened on both sides of the road with their design catering to growth of traffic in the future, (b) #faults in mountains need to be re-looked and impact on them given increased load need to be considered,

“Paving paths, Connecting communities.”

The construction and upgradation of the existing road to 2-lane with paved shoulder is being carried out by #NHIDCL from Km 430 to Km 468 of Chamoli to Paini at Rudraprayag to Joshimath under package-3 in #Uttarakhand.

/2 (c) Changes in water flows inside the mountain needs to be analyzed (d) #drainage will need to be recalibrated to accommodate the impact of increased rainwater #runoff, (e) road foundations would need to be redone, (f) shoulders would need to be planned,

[The Civil Engineer @DSCivilEngineer]

Congratulations ! Designing an underpass is a complex activity. It starts with soil analysis, looking at hydrology data and flow of water beneath the surface - analyzed over many years, projection of such flows - direction & volume - over decades - a very involved process indeed.

[NHAI @NHAI_Official]

Hon'ble MoS Shri @hdmalhotra, @MORTHIndia & @MCA21India laid the foundation stones for 5 underpasses on NH-27 in Kushinagar, UP. These projects eliminate black spots, ease traffic jams, and improve the commuting experience in the region.

@NHAI_Official Introduce penalties, have traffic cameras capture bikers using earphones (and phones stuck in their helmets) and transmit these images to #TrafficPatrol vehicles #TrafficMonitoring centers and the nearest #TrafficPolice -auto-generate a #Challan, push it into their driving record

[The Civil Engineer @DSCivilEngineer]

@NHAI_Official Let us look at possible improvements - a #TransportationEngineering perspective - #TrafficMonitoring, better lane design to manage turns & merging traffic, well-maintained lane markings, shoulders on all major roads - of course #enforcement and penal action must be strengthened

[The Civil Engineer @DSCivilEngineer]

@shipmin_india Great work ! This, coupled with development along #NationalWaterways under @IWAI_ShipMin and the coming up of #MMLP projects linked with dedicated freight corridors is going to really boost the Indian economy - particularly impressed by the work in #NortheastIndia - #NW2

[The Civil Engineer @DSCivilEngineer]

India's 1st international multi-modal logistics park #MMLP coming up fast at #Jogighopa in #Assam under @nhidcl ; work on connectivity, area dev., waste treatment etc. in advanced stages. Phase 1 shall have an Inland Waterways Terminal -@IWAI_ShipMin src: https://t.co/qFMxLqKjYL

@MORTHIndia says that ropeways are also being built as an alternative transportation medium in order to ease congestion in urban areas - the #Varanasi Cantt. Rly Stn. to Godowlia Chowk project is already underway (source: https://t.co/qFMxLqKjYL )

[The Civil Engineer @DSCivilEngineer]

The 12.9 km #Sonprayag to #Kedarnath ropeway has been sanctioned under the #ParvatmalaPariyojana under the design-build-finance-operate-transfer (#DBFOT) model in a #PPP framework -implemented by @Official_NHLML (National Highway Logistics Management Ltd) https://t.co/ptNIRg4VAO
