6 Bidders for Revas – Karanja Bridge’s Work Near Mumbai
6 firms have submitted bids for the civil construction of a new 2.04 km bridge between Revas – Karanja over Dharamtar Creek after Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) opened technical bids today.
This 4 lane bridge on SH-4 (Revas – Reddi Coastal Highway) in Raigad District will cut down the driving distance between Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) and Alibaug from approximately 55 km to 30 km.
