This bridge has five (5) 60m spans and is an integral arch bridge without expansion joint and bearing. It is thus a state of the art design for bridges build in tropical climatic condition where temperature variation is minimal. The bridge will have little long term maintenance where quality of the structure was ensured during construction.
