Bids invited for Mumbai mega-bridge
Published:  March 01, 2004

An international competition will be launched next month to choose the team to design and construct Mumbai's 22.5km Trans Harbour Link Bridge. The four lane highway will be India's longest sea link, connecting South Mumbai to Nhava in Navi Mumbai. It will cross the harbour in spans of 50m to 150m at a typical elevation of 12m, except for three navigation spans with 25m clearances. These three are envisaged as using a precast post-tensioned extradosed segmental box girder deck system with single layer central cable stays.

Client for the US$400 million project is the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation. Offers will be invited for construction to the bidders' own designs on a lump sum turnkey basis, to be financed by MSRDC. Bidders may also offer a financing package.

The project information document will be available from MSRDC between 31 March and 31 May.
