Project Description This foot over bridge is a unique design of a cable stayed bridge on a single mast. It has provided a great transit facility for pedestrians and has been the eye candy for several commuters on the Pune - Mumbai Highway. This massive but perfectly balanced structure stands at a grade separator strongly on a vertical red mast 21 meters in height. About 5.5 meters high, is placed a massive deck slab along the mast. This height has kept the deck at a minimum clearance level which is extremely convenient and useful for the pedestrians as it renders them minimum ascend for crossing the road and complete safety at the same time. It has been in use for over 3 years now and it has more than well served it's purpose.

The structure of this bridge is exclusive. Surmounted on the red mast is a gigantic cantilevered deck slab that rests on efficiently engineered brackets that protrude 3meters outward at intervals of 3.45 meters. These brackets are vital and crucial to the bridge as they maintain balance and support the deck slab. The 2.6 meter thick slab is composed of profile G.I. Sheets coated with a concrete screed. This material renders the slab extreme light weight and thus is a major contributing factor in the maintenance of the balance of the slab across the mast. The slab stretches across a span of 61.7 meters and is further reinforced by cables arising from the mast itself. They partially act as suspenders and act as an additional support to hold the bridge together and affixed to the mast. The bridge is also provided with two doglegged staircase approaches on either side for commuters. This bridge has been designed in such a way that all the structural components go above the deck, which makes it feasible to keep the deck at such close proximity to the highway, thus diminishing efforts on part of the pedestrians.

An extraordinary feature of this bridge is its assembly. It was installed within a few hours without causing any hitch in the highway traffic flow. The remarkable design of the structure and components of this bridge made this possibly backbreaking task effortless. This has definitely been a breakthrough in the assembly and construction of walkover bridges in the city. It is an inspiration

and wake up call to future projects to diminish possible delays or obstruction of traffic during construction. Though the bridge has the appearance of a delicate one, the components possess massive strength. It is sturdy and can withstand several damaging agents. Also, these components use minimal building material and at the

same time retain its poise, beauty and grace.

This bridge is an epitome of the impressive fusion of architecture and engineering. It projects the leaps and bounds taken in the development and improvement in the discipline of design and structures. It portrays creativity and at the same time caters to the aesthetics required by the materialistic human mind. This structure that stands tall and proud in the middle of the highway has provided service of a superior quality. It has been created to sustain and serve its purpose in the most effectual way deemed possible. Like one would stick a knife in the ground, the structure's mast erupts from the ground and portrays its adamance, elegance and immense strength.
