The Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) Project in Maharashtra has awarded an order to Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Transportation Infrastructure for the Integrated Infrastructure Development project in Town Planning Schemes 2 through 7.
According to the release, the project would have four 13.28-kilometer approach roads with nine major structures—three steel bridges that span the Kalundre River and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway—as well as twelve minor bridges, twenty-seven underpasses, and approaches to the structures. Utility and related electrical work construction is also a part of the project.
The City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Limited (CIDCO) has granted the project for the construction of numerous large and minor structures, linked electrical works, and integrated infrastructure development of 60- and 45-meter wide highways, release said.
The Maharashtra government has set in motion the process to develop Third Mumbai, a large mega township that would be close to the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MRHL) and off the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA).
