The bridges, with a 7.5-meter carriageway width, allow two-way traffic and can support wheeled and tracked vehicles up to 100/70 MT. GRSE has previously supplied 44 such bridges to the Border Roads Organization (BRO) under a similar MoU.
The company’s Portable Steel Bridge Division has supplied over 5,700 bridges to various entities, including the Indian Army and state public works departments. GRSE, a Miniratna Category I Company since 2006, has built 109 warships for the Indian Navy and Coast Guard, the highest number by any Indian shipyard to date.
