BMC to float tender for high-speed corridor between north and south Mumbai

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will soon float a tender for the high-speed corridor between north and south Mumbai. The cost of the project is around Rs 35,112 crore including taxes and land acquisition.

It will be the BMC’s costliest project so far. The VDLR will connect Versova to Dahisar, and then to the proposed Mira-Bhayandar connector. The length of the road is around 22.3 km with four lanes on each side.

There will also be a connector to the Goregaon-Mulund Link road at Malad Mindspace.

According to a BMC official, the VDLR is the second phase of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP). BMC is constructing a coastal road from Nariman Point in south Mumbai to Worli. The Maharashtra State Road Development is constructing its Bandra to Versova sea link.

The VDLR is divided into six stages which include elevated roads, cable-stayed bridges and tunnels. The project will be completed in 4 years after the appointment of the contractor.

According to the BMC document about the project, the road will start from Versova’s Nana Nani Park and its first phase will end at Bangur Nagar, Goregaon which will be a 4.5 km long elevated road, bridge and interchange at an approximate cost of Rs. 6,157 crore.
