"This cable-stayed spans the Zuari River for 640 metres (2,100 feet) with a width of 27 metres (89 feet). The H shaped metal pylons, which supports the wire cables, stand at 125 metres (410 feet) tall....When fully operational there will be four lanes in both directions." [David D via TripAdvisor]
"It’s 640m long with a central span of 360m and end-spans of 140m on either side, making it the 2nd longest cable stayed bridge in India." [TheMetroRailGuy, this web page has three videos.]

The old bridge was an arched concrete box girder bridge, and the new one is two cable stay bridges.

The railroad bridge is a little upstream of the road bridges.
