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.
