New Mandovi Bridge is being made on the Mandovi river in Goa near Panaji. This is the 3rd bridge to be built in the same area to reduce the traffic on NH-66 and its joining roads.
The Mandovi Bridge is a set of bridges between the towns Panaji and Porvorim, in Goa. It carries NH 66 over the tidal part of the Mandovi River.
The first and second bridge are multiple span beam bridges and the third Mandovi bridge is a cable-stayed bridge which is under construction. It has a total length of 3,771 metres.
It is the third longest cable-stayed bridge in India. On 14 June 2014, the foundation stone for the third Mandovi bridge was laid by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The third mandovi bridge will be cable stayed bridge constructed between the first and second parallel bridges which will be spanning over 3 kilometers and would be 15 meters higher than the existing two bridges. The third Mandovi bridge is designed and constructed by Larsen & Toubro (L&T).
The bridge will be a 900 m four lane bridge will be a 550 m cable stay portion and a 3.2 km viaduct approach. The new Mandovi bridge is 600m in length with two end spans of 75m and three interior spans of 150m.
The main bridge superstructure consists of 21m wide externally strutted segmented concrete box girder with dual carriageway of 2 x 8.5m with 3m wide median at the centre. The box girder will be supported by stay cables which will be anchored in the pylon and stressed from box girder bottom.
Another flyover arising from the Merces-Old Goa bypass road will join the Mandovi bridge for traffic from Ponda to go towards Margao. The revised cost of construction of the particular bridge being built is ₹ 860 crore and the cost could increase by ₹ 50 crore. It is the third longest cable-stayed bridge in India. During the laying of the foundation stone, Government of Goa claimed that the bridge would be funded independently.
The loan agreement was signed on 8 June 2015 between National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and the nodal agency granted a loan amount of ₹ 462.60 crores. The original cost of bridge was estimated to be ₹470 crores and has risen up to ₹860 crores. With a repayment period of 12 years. the government is supposed to pay an interest of ₹48 crores annually with regards to the Mandovi Bridge loan.
The total amount to be repaid NABARD by the end of June 2027, therefore, stands at a figure of ₹ 866.44 crore. This bridge is set to be the most expensive bridge in Goan history. On 20 March 2018, Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Nitin Gadkari said that the Central government would bear 50 percent of the bridge's cost which is ₹400 crores and an additional ₹50 crores for the road connecting the bridge.
