Larsen & Toubro Ltd. won orders worth Rs 8,650 crore to build two parts of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link project.
L&T Construction's heavy civil infrastructure vertical won Packages 1 and 3 of the project, which aims to connect the city with its suburban twin Navi Mumbai through the longest sea bridge in the country, according to L&T’s exchange filing.
Package 1 involves the construction of a multi-level interchange at Sewri in Central Mumbai and a 10.38-kilometre six-lane marine bridge connecting Sewri with Nhava Sheva to its east across the Thane creek. L&T secured this part of the contract in partnership with IHI Corporation, a Japanese heavy machinery maker.
Package 3 involves the construction of a 3.6 kilometre, six-lane land bridge at Navi Mumbai connecting National Highway-4B and State Highway-54. L&T Construction will also build interchanges, rail over bridges and toll plazas.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority had broken the 21.8-kilometre Mumbai Trans Harbour Link project into three parts. Six consortia, including L&T and IHI, are in the running for Package 2, which involves the construction of a 10.38-km bridge at an estimated cost of Rs 6,000 crore.
