Bridges.....
 
Bridges symbolize connectivity, a metaphor for Man's insatiable desire to arch over difficulties and bring the unreachable within his grasp.
Civilizations have been erased, cultures have evolved, but ancient bridges have often stood the test of time. Their remains speak even today of the designing skills and technological acumen of the architects.
PIL's own contribution to bridge building is a tribute to these great men whose lofty, majestic structures have left their imprint on time. Among its achievements, the Railway Over bridge near Chikhodara, Anand, is worthy of mention. In its construction, the concepts of Reinforced Earth Technology were used for the very first time in Gujarat.
Another imposing structure erected by PIL is the Foot Over bridge on Ahmedabad bypass, NH - 08. This heavy FOB situated near
the express highway junction is fully made of steel, a total of 145.00 M.T. of steel having gone into its construction.
