The length of the first level of bridge is 282 meter and the other level bridge length is 561 meter and the ramp length is 207 meter, and the height of the second level is 54 feet. This bridge was designed on the basis of pre-stressed post tensioned “U” type hollow girders having length of 20 to 35 Meters.
