The Bridge is indigenously designed & developed and is the result of close coordination between the Corps of Engineers and the DRDO laboratory at Pune R&DE (Engineers). The equipment has been manufactured by Larsen & Toubro Limited and has been delivered three months ahead of schedule. All stakeholders have put in concerted efforts to overcome challenges and realise the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the government, which aims to ensure self sufficiency in India’s defence needs.

The Bridge would meet the important requirement of providing mobility to own forces by speedy establishment of bridges and was one of the numerous indigenous projects of Corps of Engineers, which have made significant progress and were nearing induction and would soon join the units of Corps of Engineers.
