Shayok River Bridge Tender, Nubra, Ladakh (560 m, CRIF)

Ladakh’s PWD wants a contractor to build a 560-metre double-lane bridge over the Shayok river linking Diskit to Burma in Nubra, and bids close on 15 July 2026.

Scope and funding

The work is funded under CRIF, the Central Road Infrastructure Fund, and carries an estimated value of ₹74.86 Cr on a percentage-rate contract. A 560 m span across a Himalayan river means serious substructure, foundations in or near the riverbed, piers, and a double-lane superstructure that has to stand up to Nubra’s climate. The NIT and BOQ are available to study before you price.

Bidders this suits

Bridge specialists, take note. You’ll want proven river-bridge or major-bridge experience, crews that can work at altitude, and an EMD of ₹1,49,72,960. The contract uses two covers with 120-day validity, and the tender fee is ₹25,000. Pure earthwork or supply firms can still play a part by feeding aggregate, concrete or transport to the main contractor through a long build season.

Plant for a river bridge

Bridge building is plant-heavy. Foundations call for piling rigs and crawler cranes; the river setting usually means cofferdams and steady dewatering. The deck and piers need concrete batching plants, transit mixers and concrete pumps kept running close to site, with launching girders or heavy cranes to place the spans. excavators and tippers handle approaches and spoil. At this altitude, machine reliability and on-site spares decide your programme, so owners who can commit cranes and concrete plant for months, with backup, are the ones bidders chase — an equipment finance plan makes holding that spare capacity easier.
