PFR for Under Construction Bridge across Narmada River,
Nr. Golden bridge on old NH-8, Dist.: Bharuch, State: Gujarat
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

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.

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.
