Mumbai: The anticipated infrastructure project to construct bridge to link Navi Mumbai from Eastern Express Highway near Ghatkopar, finally took off. Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has signed a deal with a Belgium-based firm, Ney & Poulissen Engineer and Contractors who have expertise in constructing bridges. This firm would work on the cost and concept of the construction of the elevated corridor.After Vashi and Airoli, the third bridge that would link Navi Mumbai to Mumbai will aid in reducing the distance between the faraway eastern suburbs. The 6.48 km corridor will start from Ghatkhopar on the Eastern Express Highway and end on Palm Beach Road extension near Koparkhairane. The elevated corridor will help to reduce around an hour time for commuting to Navi Mumbai and afar like Pune, Bangalore and Goa.The foreign consultancy firm would propose a design and work on the cost factor. It will also plan the bid documents for the infrastructure project. The consultant will also plan if the corridor would have 4 lanes or 6. The firm will charge about 1 million euros, out of which, half of the cost will be borne by the government of Belgium. According to the MMRDA official, the consultancy firm will complete their job within in 12 months.The proposed project will help to cut down the traffic on Sion-Trombay road and GMLR. Even the western suburb dwellers can be benefited as they can reach corridor quickly by beating Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link road or Andheri- Ghatkopar Link road.займ на карту без отказов круглосуточновзять кредит онлайн
