The state highways department’s construction and maintenance wing has started preliminary work on a new high-level bridge across the Cauvery River near Srirangam in Trichy. The state government allocated an estimated INR 106 Crore for construction, assigning a Trichy-based contractor.
The four-lane bridge will link Mambalasaalai Road on Srirangam’s end with Melachinthamani on Trichy’s end. It spans approximately 540 Meters upstream of the existing Cauvery bridge. The work is said to begin gradually in a week at the Srirangam end. The project, funded under the Comprehensive Road Infrastructure Development Programme (CRIDP), includes INR 24 Crore reserved for land acquisition compensation. The new bridge is expected to be completed in 18 months.

The upcoming bridge aims to decongest traffic between Srirangam Island and Trichy mainland. The highways department also plans to redevelop the approach vicinity of the new bridge near the Melachinthamani-Odathurai bridge junction. A major roundabout is also planned to facilitate the seamless entry and exit of vehicles entering and leaving Srirangam Island and Odathurai Road, which merges with the Trichy-Chennai National Highway.
