AKASH BRIDGE

The concept of this bridge, the ‘Arch’, simplistic yet dynamic in its form, derives its inspiration from ‘Akash’, meaning―the sky. It is located on Mithi River, Mumbai. The bridge is an elegant, sophisticated expression that, much like its name, reaches for the sky as it draws one’s gaze along its curve. The large-span arch form embraces a soft compression towards its centre, in turn resolving forces into compressive stresses and eliminating the tensile stresses. This bridge is also designed for the MMRDA.
