3rd Narmada Bridge

The 3rd Narmada Bridge is a road bridge that crosses the Narmada River in Bharuch, providing four lanes for vehicle traffic on National Highway 8. The structure connects two major commercial routes and stands as a large concrete and steel construction spanning 1,344 meters.

Construction of this bridge began in 2014 and was completed in 2017, creating a modern connection for the region. The project was part of infrastructure investments designed to improve transportation routes across Gujarat.

The Narmada River below carries deep meaning for local communities who gather here to perform rituals and ceremonies tied to their faith. People still use the riverbanks for traditional practices, making this crossing a point where modern travel meets centuries-old customs.

When crossing, be aware of the four lanes as traffic can be heavy, especially during peak hours. Drivers should expect this to be a busy commercial route with patience needed for navigation.

The structure uses a special extradosed bridge technique that sets it apart among similar crossings in India. This construction method allows for longer spans without additional supports in the middle.
