Fresh tenders have been floated by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for construction of 4.7 km long two underground tunnels below the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) that are part of the approximately Rs 8,000 crore Goregaon Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project. BMC had scrapped the previous tenders three weeks back. Initially pegged at around Rs 4,600 crore, the project’s value has increased to around Rs 8000 crore now.
To be completed in four phases, the 12 km long GMLR will connect the Western Express Highway at Goregaon and the Eastern Express Highway at Mulund.
