Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s Standing Committee returned two Engineering Department proposals after officials failed to clarify tendering and cost questions. The Water Committee had approved both.

• Chenpur lake, Chenpur village, Ranip ward: the Drainage Project Department tender combined garden development and civil works. Neelkanth Landscape Associate was the lowest bidder at ₹14.12 crore. Chairman Kamlesh Patel questioned the combined contract and tender process; the committee returned the proposal.
• Chandlodia ward: pothole and damaged storm-water and drainage-line repairs were proposed in Jagatpur, Tragad, Chharodi, Nakoda and other areas. The North-West Zone Engineering Department based its estimate of around ₹1 crore on the 2009-10 Schedule of Rates. Sangam Engineers was the lowest of three contractors, quoting ₹94.51 lakh. The price bid opened in August 2025, but the proposal reached the Standing Committee later. The committee sought explanations for the delay and use of the 16-year-old rates, and returned the proposal. AMC is expected to provide further explanations and documents before both proposals are reconsidered.

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), under Gujarat government guidance, plans to restore Subhash Bridge over the Sabarmati River and build new two-lane bridges on both sides. The project is estimated to cost ₹250 crore and will be delivered through a single combined EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) tender.

The bridge, built in 1973, connects Ranip and Shahibaug. Cracks in its deck and settlement in the superstructure were observed on December 24, 2025, prompting its closure to traffic. Inspections by empanelled consultants and experts from IIT Roorkee and SVNIT Surat found the existing superstructure must be dismantled.

In phase one, it will be replaced with a superstructure featuring 38-metre spans and steel-composite girders; existing piers will be strengthened with micro-concrete jacketing. Phase two will construct new two-lane bridges at the same level, from foundations to superstructures. The project is intended to ease congestion between northern and central Ahmedabad and meet future traffic demand.
