1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Roads and Buildings Department (R&B) – Bharuch has started development of a new bridge adjacent

to the Golden Bridge across Narmada River in Bharuch district of Gujarat, India. The site is located

approximately 0.5 km from densely populated Bharuch city. The proposed bridge would serve as an

important public infrastructure facility on the existing busy NH-8 and SH-76. NH-8 is an important

component of the Golden Quadrilateral and is one of the busiest highways of the country.

The proponent R&B Department – Bharuch has already started bridge construction across Narmada

River. Due to tidal influence of sea, it attracts violation of CRZ Notification, 2011 under Environmental

Protection Act – 1986. The proposed bridge is under construction parallel to the Golden Bridge. The

Golden Bridge traces its history back in 1881 when the British constructed it. During those days, the

British needed a bridge across the Narmada River to create better access to trade and administration

officials in Mumbai (then called Bombay). The Bridge is also called Narmada Bridge. It has a length of

1462 m and is considered an important architecture which connects Ankleshwar to Bharuch in

the Gujarat state of western India. The Golden Bridge has seen many natural disasters like

floods and earthquakes, but it has stood for 132 years, providing daily transportation to the people of

Ankleshwar and Bharuch. In recent times too, the Golden Bridge is considered as an important route

for PCUs, since heavy transportation vehicles are not allowed on this bridge considering its design

parameters and loading capacity. Golden Bridge adjoining Ankleshwar to Bharuch city is heavily

loaded with PCUs and other small vehicles. In view of increase in traffic intensity in multiples, heavy

load vehicle and fast industrial growth, the need of new bridge has arisen. Hence, the R&B

Department -Government of Gujarat (GoG) took up the task of constructing another bridge across

Narmada River.

The proposed project requires setting up foundations and piers within the Narmada River which is

considered as a permissible activity under the CRZ Notification, 2011. Proposed construction falls

under CRZ III and IVB. But the proponent did not obtain prior CRZ Clearance before starting the

construction of the same. Hence, it is mandatory to get the clearance under the provision of the CRZ

Notification, 2011 and file the application to violation committee of MoEF&CC, New Delhi for the

proposed project.

The pre-feasibility report includes a brief introduction of the proponent, need and justification of the

project, required and available resources, proposed Environment Management Systems, existing

land-use and proposed infrastructure, project schedule and cost estimate, and proposed Terms of

reference for conducting the EIA studies. The department has engaged Eco Chem Sales & Service

(ECSS) as their Environment Consultant to conduct the EIA studies for obtaining CRZ clearance for

the proposed project. ECSS is a NABET accredited Environmental Consultant.

2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT

2.1 Identification of the Project and the Project Proponent

Roads and Buildings Division (R&B) of Bharuch –is a division of the Government of Gujarat. The R&B

Department is in charge of all activities pertaining to planning, Construction and maintenance of all

categories of Roads and all Government owned Buildings in the State of Gujarat. Considering its

importance of transport facilities, the state has formulated Road Policy keeping in mind their crucial

role in the development of an economy and society.

Roads and Buildings Department (R&B) – Bharuch remains committed to sustainable development

through economic growth, social responsibility and minimizing the impact of the development

activities on the environment.

2.2 Need of the Proposed Project

India is one of the fastest developing countries of the world, with industrial development advancing at

a fast pace. Transport system widens the size of the market. Due to selling of commodities in an

extensive manner in large areas, it leads to large-scale production. As a result industry of firm gets

the advantages of large-scale production. The development of any country depends upon the

transportation facility it offers as transportation facility increases the availability of; natural resources

lying unutilized in different hills, mountains, forests and mines; raw materials and products reaching

industrial units; and human resources reaching their final destination. The project proposes to develop

an additional bridge across Narmada River parallel to the Golden Bridge and help in the the

economical transportation for the flourishing industries and commuters in the area.

The proposed project envisages construction of an additional bridge adjacent to the existing Golden

Bridge on old NH-8 and SH-76. Golden bridge having a length of 1462 m has been considered an

important architecture which connects Ankleshwar to Bharuch in the Gujarat state of western India. It

was built in 1881 by the British and even at present times it is considered as an important route for

PCUs, since heavy transportation vehicles are not allowed on this bridge. Golden Bridge adjoining

Ankleshwar to Bharuch city has heavy traffic throughout the year. The project is initiated by

Government of Gujarat - Roads and Building department to facilitate the short route between Bharuch

and Ankleshwar to overcome the traffic nuisance between these sections due to high intensity traffic

on NH-8. The project is envisaged to provide shorter route, safe travelling, time and fuel saving and to

ensure smooth traffic between Bharuch and Ankleshwar for commuters.

2.3 Employment Generation

The proposed project will generate major employment during the construction phase. Local skilled

and semi-skilled workers will be hired during construction phase.

Approx 320 Nos. of people have been employed during the construction phase. Approx. 25 Nos.of

people will get indirect employment during the operational phase.

3.0 PROPOSED PROJECT & APPLICABILITY OF EIA

This project envisages of construction of new bridge across river Narmada parallel to old golden

bridge, construction of flyover/ Viaduct span in Bharuch connecting with Narmada Bridge and

construction of approach towards Ankleshwar end by constructing high embankment. The total project

length is 4.3 km i.e. River bridge 1.462 km + viaduct 0.850 km + approach 1.990 km.

This was a much awaited and required project to overcome the traffic nuisance, traffic jams, accidents

of local commuters on NH-8 and SH-76 due to high intensity traffic on both. The project also reduces

the distance between Bharuch and Ankleshwar by 4 to 5 km compared to route of NH-8. Some of the

activities of the bridge construction will be required to be undertaken in CRZ area i.e. CRZ III and

CRZ IVB, hence the project has violated CRZ notification under EPA Act and now applies for the CRZ

clearance under the CRZ Notification, 2011.

4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Roads and Buildings Department (R&B) – Bharuch has started development of a new bridge adjacent

to the Golden Bridge across Narmada River in Bharuch district of Gujarat, India. The site is located

approximately 0.5 km from densely populated Bharuch city. The proposed bridge would serve as an

additional transport facility on the existing busy NH-8 and SH-76. NH-8 is an important component of

the Golden Quadrilateral and is one of the busiest highways of the country.

The proponent R&B Department – Bharuch has already started its construction and hence attracts

violation of CRZ Notification, under Environmental Protection Act – 1986. The proposed bridge will be

constructed parallel to the Golden Bridge on the upstream side of the existing Golden Bridge. Due to

the site constraint, the new bridge will be horizontally aligned such that start of the bridge is at about

15 m from the existing bridge at Bharuch end and at about 30 m from the existing bridge at Surat end.

The bridge will be continued as an elevated viaduct on the Bharuch side up to Shital circle and then

descended to ground level with a gradual slope of 1:40.

The bridge construction involves following steps:

Construction of Bridge foundation by piling

Construction of sub-structure (pile, pile cap, pier, pier cap)

Construction & Erection of superstructure

The bridge also proposes footpath on the river bridge along with RCC stair case to cater the

pedestrian traffic.

4.1 Project Implementation Schedule

The bridge construction will take around 4 years (2015-2018), which will be undertaken in the

following stages:

i. Bridge river portion

ii. Viaduct portion
