L&T emerges as lowest bidder for 3.8km tunnel to link EEH and Coastal Road

Mumbai: Larsen and Toubro (L&T) has emerged as the lowest bidder for the 3.81 km long underground tunnel that will link Eastern Freeway to Coastal Road on Marine drive.

The project will decongest stretches of road like Crawford market junction, GPO junction and even CSMT junction as this road will be like a bypass for traffic headed to and fro from Marine drive.

An MMRDA official said, “Even though L&T has emerged as the lowest bidder, the decision to award the contract will be taken after scrutiny of the bid documents.”
