Siddhivinayak Infra International Private Limited, formerly Siddhivinayak Construction, along with its joint venture partner OJSC Euro Asian Construction Corporation, has secured an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract from the Border Road Organisation under the Ministry of Defence. The project involves building India’s first single-span 263.5-metre extradozed bridge over River Siang in Arunachal Pradesh. The total length of the bridge will be 386 metres, with a contract value of Rs 1.24 billion, excluding Goods and Services Tax.
This major bridge is part of a larger initiative that also includes a 63.5-metre span bridge. The project aims to enhance connectivity, facilitate movement of heavy military vehicles, and reduce travel distance by 180 kilometres.
The company has appointed Assystem, formerly Larsen & Toubro Infra Engineering Limited, for the detailed design. The joint venture has also partnered with HMM Infra Limited for engineering support. Geotechnical investigation and survey work are already underway, marking the start of the construction process for Arunachal Pradesh’s first extradozed bridge.
