South Coast Railway is re-tendering the unfinished work on its Penna river crossing between Atmakur and Obulayapalle, and the ₹185.47 crore Penna river bridge tender closes on 15 October 2026.
Leftover work on Important Bridge No. 357
The bridge sits at chainage 252961.46 m on the Nadikudi to Srikalahasti new broad-gauge line. The scope is the leftover work: substructure for a double line on double D well foundations, and a superstructure for a single line of 25 open web steel girders of 45.7 m each to RDSO drawings 17181/1 to 17181/19.
The issuing office is the South Coast Railway construction organisation at Visakhapatnam, reference 01-DYCECIIIGNT-SCOR-2026. A leftover contract usually means some wells are partly sunk, so bidders should inspect the site closely before pricing.
EMD and the bidders it suits
EMD is ₹3,70,94,900, 2 per cent of the estimate. The summary lists a works contract and does not give the tender fee, opening date or completion period, which are in the tender document. No corrigendum had been issued at the time of writing.
Well sinking needs grab cranes, compressors, dewatering pumps and excavators for dredging inside the wells. Steel girders are assembled on staging and launched or lifted with heavy cranes. Transit mixers feed well steining and pier work, and a wheel loader keeps the batching plant stocked. Work in the riverbed has to fit around the monsoon flow of the Penna.
