L&T to build new Tallah bridge

Larsen and Toubro (L&T) will build the new Tallah bridge, which could be ready for use by February 2022 if everything moves according to plan, officials of the public works department said on Wednesday.

The private infrastructure company was given the contract to build the bridge on June 5, the day it signed an agreement with the PWD.

The contract states that the company has 18 months from the time it starts work to finish the project.

PWD engineers as well as L&T officials said construction could start towards the end of July. “Eighteen months from July-end will stretch till February 2022. The bridge is likely to be ready by then if everything moves according to the plan,” a PWD official said.
