The Lucknow Development Authority is inviting EPC bids for a 4-lane elevated road from Vaikunth Dham to the LDA Cricket Stadium along the right bank of the Gomti, and bidding closes on 10 July 2026.
The stretch and the structure
This is an elevated four-lane road running along the Gomti’s right-bank alignment, built as a turnkey EPC contract. Expect deep foundations, piers, precast or cast-in-situ girders, a deck and the approach ramps that connect it to the road below. River-edge work adds its own constraints on access and sequencing.
Who this is for
An elevated corridor of this size calls for an EPC contractor with flyover or viaduct experience and the plant to match. The department has not published a headline cost in the notice, and the figure that circulates is worked back from the EMD, so read the BOQ carefully and price from first principles rather than any round number.
Machines for an elevated build
Foundations bring in piling rigs and service cranes. Girder handling and launching need heavy crawler cranes or a launcher, fed by a batching plant, transit mixers and concrete pumps. Excavators and compactors handle the ramp earthwork, and you will want steady tipper support on a congested city site.
Close date is tight
This one moves fast. Bids close on 10 July 2026 and open on 11 July, and a corrigendum has already been issued, so pull the current documents today. EMD is ₹5.86 crore with an exemption route, and the tender fee is ₹59,000. With the deadline this close, a quick site visit and an early read of the geotechnical data will tell you more than any second-guess at the value.
