The project involves construction of 1 Major Bridge, 4 Minor Bridges & 3 VUPs. The project is intersected by Twin (parallel) Rajasthan Feeder and Firojpur Feeder Canals. Overall deck width of the bridges is 2x16m.

The Major Bridge comprises of 106m span in through type steel truss superstructure (Pratt Type of depth 12m) supported on RCC substructure resting on pile foundation. One of the Minor Bridges also comprises of 55m span in through type steel truss type superstructure (Pratt Type of depth 9m) supported on RCC substructure resting on pile foundation. The other Minor Bridges comprises of 35m & 43m spans in precast post tensioned girder with cast-in-situ deck slab supported on RCC substructure resting on pile foundation. As per the ground/sub soil profile, 1000mm/1200mm diameter Bored cast-in-situ has been adopted depending upon the structure length & safe pile load. The VUPs are of RCC box type structure having clear lateral opening of around 12m.

Both the trusses were launched/erected through cantilever auto launching technique without interrupting the canal flow.
