Mumbai: BMC nod to cost escalation proposal for bridge near Kora Kendra
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)’s standing committee Thursday approved the cost escalation proposal in the construction of a bridge near Kora Kendra in Borivali west. The extension will increase the project cost from Rs 161 crore to Rs 651 crore.
This has increased the project cost by 300 per cent and extended the deadline by two years.
BMC officials said the cost increase was due to construction of another bridge on the same route to connect Link Road to Western Express Highway in Borivali. According to the plan, motorists now coming from the Link Road will be able to skip Kora Kendra Junction on SV Road as they will directly head to the Western Express Highway via a set of two flyovers.
