The contract to construct three flyovers as part of the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road Tunnel Project in Mumbai has been awarded to a contractor who allegedly had involvement in the construction of the bridge in Bihar that collapsed on Sunday. The contractor, SP Singla of S P Singla Construction, secured the contract from the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation for the construction of the three flyovers, with an estimated value of Rs 5.84 billion.

It is believed that there are flaws in the bridge's design.
