High in the Nubra valley, Ladakh’s PWD wants a 540-metre bridge thrown across the Shayok at Lakjung, and the tender closes on 15 July 2026.
This is a fresh bridge under the CRIF programme, a 540-metre span over the Shayok river, tendered by the R&B wing of the Ladakh PWD at a disclosed ₹73.88 crore. It’s a percentage-rate contract, reference 14 of PWD RnB Nubra 2026-27. Building over a glacial river at altitude is demanding: short weather windows, hard logistics, and foundations that have to sit against fast, cold water.
You want a bridge or heavy-civil contractor comfortable with high-altitude sites. Small and mid-size firms with genuine hill experience can compete here, and the percentage-rate format keeps the arithmetic simple. Budget for the ₹1.48 crore EMD and a ₹25,000 fee, then factor the short working season into your programme.
Bridge work on the Shayok calls for piling rigs, hydraulic cranes for girder and segment lifts, and excavators for the abutments and approaches. A batching plant close to site is almost a must, given how far material has to travel. Tippers, concrete pumps and dewatering sets fill out the list. Own cold-weather-capable machines and you’ve got an edge flatland fleets simply don’t.
