Mumbai: BMC Awards Goregaon-Mulund Link Road Project To Same Contractor Linked With Bihar Bridge Collapse

Mumbai: The contract for construction of three flyovers under the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road Tunnel Project in Mumbai has gone to a contractor who is reportedly involved in the construction of the bridge in Bihar that collapsed Sunday. The contractor SP Singla of S.P. Singla Construction won the contract from the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation for the construction of three flyovers, a project whose estimated value is ₹ 584.27 crore.

A section of an under-construction bridge over the Ganga river in Bihar collapsed on Sunday. The bridge, known as Aguwani Sultanganj bridge, was intended to connect the Khagaria and Bhagalpur districts. The incident has raised concerns about the progress and safety of the construction project as this is the second instance of a portion of the same bridge collapsing within two years.
