The Mumbai Metropolitan Road Development Authority (MMRDA), which is constructing the 21.7-km-long Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) over the sea between Navi mumbai and south Mumbai, will launch the first Orthotropic Steel Deck (OSD) on the sealink in the first week of January 2022.
MMRDA metropolitan commissioner SVR Srinivas reviewed the preparation work for the launch of an Orthotropic Steel Deck span (OSD) from the Package-1 site (in Sewri) on Tuesday.
The OSDs, also called steel spans that are completely made of steel instead of concrete, are being used for the first time in the country, said an official.
