India’s commercial capital, Mumbai, continues to build offshore highway links to escape congested city roads. A contract for a $1-billion link off the west coast has just been awarded. On the other side of the peninsula, construction is about to start on an eastward sea crossing to the Navi Mumbai district.
An equal joint venture of Indian contractor Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. and Italy’s Astaldi S.p.A has just secured a 60-month contract to engineer, procure and construct the Versova-Bandra Sea Link from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corp.
