The Heavy Civil Infrastructure business vertical of L&T Construction has bagged a
major order worth Rs 8,650 crore from Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development
Authority (MMRDA) for the construction of Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL),
Packages-1 and 3. The project involves construction of a 21.8 km bridge connecting
Mumbai mainland with Navi Mumbai. The project has been bagged against stiff
competition from renowned international and domestic companies.
The Package-1 of the contract involves the construction of a multi-level interchange
at Sewri and a six-lane marine bridge from Sewri to 10.38 km into the Mumbai bay,
crossing over the Sewri mudflats, Pir Pau Jetty and Thane Creek channels. The
contract, secured in partnership with IHI Corporation, Japan, involves the
construction of an Orthotropic Steel Deck crossing the various obligatory navigation
channels which will be first-of- its-kind in India.
The Package-3, won by L&T on a standalone basis, involves the construction of a
3.6 km, six-lane land bridge at Navi Mumbai connecting NH-4B and SH-54 apart,
from the construction of Interchanges, rail-over- bridges and toll plazas.
The proposed MTHL will serve as an economic gateway to Navi Mumbai
connecting to Nhava Sheva Port, the Mumbai Pune Expressway and the Mumbai
Goa Highway.
“Being a city with a very large population, Mumbai requires a number of important
infrastructure to meet its ever-increasing needs and we are delighted to have bagged
this very crucial mandate that will significantly improve connectivity in and around
Mumbai,” said SN Subrahmanyan, CEO and Managing Director, Larsen &
Toubro. “We are grateful to MMRDA to have reposed their trust in us and we are
confident of executing and delivering this landmark project to quality and in time,”
he added.
