THE MUMBAI Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is looking for project management consultancy, which will take care of operations and maintenance of the upcoming Mumbai Trans Harbour Sealink (MTHL) for two years, said an official.
The sealink has been named as ‘Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu.’
The MMRDA has now floated a tender looking for an experienced agency for the said work. Eligible bidders can participate and submit bids till January 5. The bids will be opened next day. The participants can clarify for queries till January 3, said the official.
In the under construction MTHL project, more than 97 per cent work is complete so far.
The 21.8-km six-lane access-controlled bridge from Sewri in Mumbai to Chirle in Navi Mumbai has three interchanges. One interchange is at Sewri in South Mumbai, connecting MTHL to Eastern Freeway (Mumbai Side), second at Shivaji Nagar in Ulwe connecting MTHL to Navi Mumbai Coastal Road Project and the third at Chirle interchange—where one arm will connect State Highway-54 and the second will connect NH4 Mumbai-Pune Highway.
The sealink, once opened to public, will reduce the travel time bringing Mumbai and Navi Mumbai closer.
