Punjab Mandi Board is tendering a ₹25.13 crore steel composite girder bridge, 180 metres long, over the Satluj on the Chandpur Bela link road in Roopnagar district, with bids closing 21 September 2026.
The bridge in one paragraph
The Satluj river bridge tender is for a 180.0 m bridge in four spans of 45.0 m each, built with steel composite girders, at km 3/000 on the link road to Chandpur Bela in district Roopnagar. The work code is SASN 2026-75. It is issued by the Executive Engineer (Civil), Punjab Mandi Board, SAS Nagar, which is why the portal files it under the agriculture department: the Mandi Board builds and maintains the rural link roads that carry produce to market. The work itself is a river bridge, and that is how it should be priced.
Who should look at the Satluj river bridge tender
A bridge contractor with river crossing experience in Punjab or Himachal fits best, and the value is small enough for mid-sized firms. Earnest money is ₹50,25,000, 2 per cent of the estimate, and the tender fee is ₹50,000. The contract is on a percentage basis with two covers and a 90-day bid validity. There has been no corrigendum so far, so the documents published on 21 August 2026 still stand.
Steel composite girders mean fabricated steel beams working together with a concrete deck. That puts real weight on the fabrication and erection plan, so a contractor with a steel fabricator already lined up has an edge.
Plant for a river bridge
Work in the Satluj bed is seasonal and needs to be planned around river levels. Foundations will call for excavators, dewatering pumps and whatever piling or well-sinking plant the design requires. Girder erection on 45 m spans needs a crawler or mobile crane of suitable capacity, or a launching arrangement. Transit mixers and a concrete pump handle the piers and deck, and a compactor and motor grader finish the approach roads on both banks.
