Ahead of the assembly elections scheduled for October this year, the Eknath Shinde government is eyeing the launch of three mega projects worth Rs 22,000 crore by the BMC. The state government wants the projects launched before the polls. After the Nariman Point-Worli Coastal Road, the Dahisar-Mira Road connector, the Versova-Dahisar connector and the Grant Road-Orange Gate elevated road are big ticket projects.

A civic official said that the contractor for the Dahisar-Mira Road connector has been finalised. “We need to take no-objection certificates from various government departments like environment, salt pan commissioner and others,” the official said.
