Contest fetches 30 different designs; move to bring structural uniformity to the facades of all the structures on the river
A design competition announced by the Hyderabad Road Development Corporation Limited (HRDCL) for the newly-proposed bridges on the Esa and Musi rivers has yielded over 30 different designs from various contestants.
Only one winning design will be applied uniformly to all the 14 bridges, officials from the Municipal Administration department informed.
The idea is to bring structural uniformity to the facades of all the structures on the river for easy recall value and aesthetics. In future, the existing bridges on the river too, may be given a facelift following the same design, a highly placed official shared. The entries had been received till October 25.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
