The coastal road, proposed seven years in the past, has gained its first primary spice up towards becoming reality. The BMC management on Tuesday decided on a contractor to build a portion of the 10km stretch connecting Marine Drive with the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL). It will now put the proposal for the civic standing committee’s approval.
The general period of the coastal road, proposed by the civic body in 2011, will be 29.2km, ranging from the Princess Street flyover at Marine Lines and ending at Kandivli. The BMC has divided the first section—the 10km south Mumbai stretch estimated to cost Rs 6,894 crore—into three portions. Separate bids had been invited for each and every. A three way partnership of Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) and Hyundai Development Corporation won the bid for the first part— Haji Ali to Worliend of BWSL, the shortest of the three divisions inside the 10km stretch.
The BMC’s estimated construction cost for this part was Rs 1,661 crore, but the decided on contractor quoted around 30% greater than the estimate, which works out to Rs 2,206 crore. The BMC is expected to open the bids for the rest two portions in a few days.
The BMC expects the chosen contractors to mobilize assets in a couple of months and start construction work soon after the tip of the monsoon. As in keeping with the contract conditions, the work needs to be finished within 4 years. The 10km stretch will have three interchanges: near Breach Candy Hospital, at Haji Ali and at the Worliend of the ocean link. The general period of the basically ringshaped interchanges, along side their ramps, too will be 10km. Thus, together with the period of the interchanges, the Marine Lines-Worli stretch of the coastal road works out to 20km.
BMC commissioner Ajoy Mehta mentioned the management will now put its collection of contractor before the standing committee, which contains corporators, for approval. “We will open the bids for the opposite two portions with a few days.”
The state govt has determined to build the center section of the coastal road as a sea link connecting BWSL to Versova. Earlier this month, a consortium of Reliance Infrastructure and Italy’s Astaldi got the contract to build the 10-km Bandra-Versova sea link, with a deadline of 5 years. The consortium’s Rs 6,994-crore bid, regardless that lowest among five bidders within the fray, was Rs 1,477 crore upper than the government’s Rs 5,516 crore estimate made in November 2016.
