L&T Wins ₹1,000–2,500 Crore Order for Muri Ganga Cable-Stayed Bridge

Larsen & Toubro’s Transportation Infrastructure business has secured a significant order to build a landmark cable-stayed bridge over the Muri Ganga River in West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district. As per L&T’s classification, the project value falls in the range of ₹1,000 to ₹2,500 crore.

The project involves constructing a 3.2 km extradosed cable-stayed bridge with four lanes and a maximum span of 177 metres, along with approach roads on both the Kakdwip and Sagar Island sides. The bridge will be equipped with modern features such as Advanced Traffic Management Systems, bridge health monitoring, architectural lighting, and hybrid street lighting.

Once completed, the bridge will provide round-the-clock connectivity to Sagar Island, which currently relies on ferry services often disrupted by adverse weather. The project is expected to significantly improve mobility for over two lakh residents, support local economic development, and ensure smoother access to healthcare and livelihoods.

Importantly, the bridge will also play a crucial role during the Ganga Sagar Mela, enabling safe and reliable travel for millions of pilgrims who visit the island every year. Overall, the project is set to act as a permanent infrastructure lifeline, transforming connectivity and boosting long-term socio-economic growth in the region.
