The Kota Bridge or Kota Chambal or Kota Cable Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge under construction in Kota, Rajasthan, India. The bridge is situated on the Kota Bypass. It crosses the Chambal River just outside the city.
Funding
The project is being sponsored by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in a 2750 million INR investment on the bridge and a 40 months-deadline. The agreement was signed in 2006. Due to delay in Environmental and Wild life clearances it could start in 2007 only. The bridge was scheduled to be opened in November 2012. Later this was pushed to May 2017. It is being constructed jointly by Hyundai Engineering of South Korea and Gammon India Ltd. (Contract Agreement)
