The BMC on Wednesday floated tenders for its ambitious 5.6-km-long arterial road that will connect the Eastern Freeway in south Mumbai with Grant Road. Civic officials said construction work for this project may start from October 2023 and the entire stretch of the arterial road will be built using monopiles.
P Velrasu, additional municipal commissioner (Projects), said the cost of this project has been earmarked at Rs 638 crore and keeping in mind future cost escalation, contingency and consultation charges, an overall provision of Rs 743 crore has been made.
