Second extension of tender deadline for Dahisar-Bhayander Link Road

The deadline for submitting bids for the BMC's tender to build an elevated corridor that would link Dahisar in the western suburbs with Bhayander in the north has been extended for a second time. A large-scale project of the BMC, the Dahisar-Bhayander Link Road (DBLR) is anticipated to be the northernmost extension of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP). In October 2022, the municipal body issued a request for proposals for the project.

The project's estimated cost is Rs 31.86 billion, and the deadline for submitting bids was March 10. Although the BMC maintained a six-month window, it didn't receive enough interest from bidders, so the deadline was extended to March 24. According to civic officials, the deadline has now been extended to April 13 since they have not yet received a sufficient number of proposals.

The selected contractor will be required to develop the full project's planning, according to the tender terms. The proposed arterial road will cross both mangroves and waterways, making it difficult to design the entire route. As a result, we are taking our time to respond to the contractors' frequent questions about the various planning stages, a senior official stated while requesting anonymity.

The proposed elevated route will be 5.6 km long, with 4.1 km falling under the jurisdiction of Mira- Bhayander Municipal Corporation and 1.5 km falling under the BMC (MBMC). The primary goal of building this arterial route is to reduce daily traffic congestion at Dahisar Check Naka, from where vehicles travel north to Delhi through Western Express Highway and south to Vasai, Virar, Palghar, Gujarat. The BMC is the project's planning and implementing agency.
