Egis celebrated a key milestone with the inauguration of the iconic bow-string arch bridge connecting to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link of the southbound arm of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project. The official inauguration took place on 12th September by Maharashtra Chief Minister Shri Eknath Shinde, alongside Deputy Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis and other dignitaries.
As Project Management Consultant (PMC), Egis was responsible for design review, construction supervision, and ensuring compliance with technical specifications and contractual obligations. The team’s expertise was instrumental in overcoming key engineering challenges, such as the construction of the 136-meter bowstring arch bridge span.
Beyond the technical aspects, Egis provided specialized training and workshops to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation staff on contract management and project supervision. These efforts are designed to build local capacity and ensure the long-term success of the project’s operations and maintenance.
As part of Egis' ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and global carbon neutrality by 2050, the Project incorporates several innovative eco-design solutions. These include the creation of an artificial coral reef to promote marine life, translocation of corals in line with Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) amendments, and the use of natural rocks for sea walls instead of tetrapod’s. Additionally, the bridge’s steel structure was redesigned to protect marine fauna, and trees within the project area were translocated to safeguard the local environment.
