Even as civic body is moving to phase-II of GMLR project, it is yet to zero in on an experienced contractor for the tunnel work below the national park, without which the flyovers will be of no use

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has planned to start work on the two flyovers as part of the Goregaon Mulund Link Road (GMLR) project at a cost of Rs 532 crore, but unless the underground tunnel is made, these flyovers will be of no use. However, to the dismay of the BMC and citizens, the tunnel work for GMLR has again run into difficulty as the civic body is struggling to find an experienced and eligible contractor to do the ambitious work that runs under the SGNP.
In phase-I of the project, BMC took up road widening work near the Western Express Highway towards Film City as well as repairs on the Nahur bridge.
