Maharashtra PWD’s Pune East division is pricing a high-level long bridge across the Ujani dam backwater, tying Chandgaon in Indapur taluka of Pune district to Pomalwadi in Karmala taluka of Solapur, a Rs247.53 Cr lump-sum job that closes on 11 August 2026.
One bridge, two districts
The crossing connects MDR-65, the Baramati Lakadi Kalas Chandgaon road, with MDR-124 on the Solapur side. Today the Ujani backwater forces a long detour between these talukas; a high-level bridge stitches the two districts together for farm traffic, sugarcane haulage and daily commuters. The Ujani Dam bridge tender runs lump-sum under a two-cover system with 120-day bid validity, and the document set already carries general arrangement drawings and the draft agreement. It was published on 22 July 2026 under e-tender notice no. 17 for 2026-2027.
Should you price it
Long water crossings are specialist work. The job favours bridge contractors who have built over reservoirs or wide rivers and can plan piers, pile caps and spans around standing water rather than a dry bed. Earnest money is Rs1,23,76,000 with a modest Rs5,900 tender fee. A lump-sum form means quantities risk sits with you, so study the GAD sheets and the soil information closely before committing a number.
Gear the water crossing needs
Substructure over backwater keeps cranes at the centre of the programme, lifting reinforcement cages, shuttering and girders, with concrete mixers feeding continuous pours and excavators handling approaches and foundations on both banks. Owners planning a fleet addition for a multi-season bridge job can weigh equipment finance options alongside the bid.
