Whether the construction work of Road Over Bridge at Railway station Ghatkopar in Mumbai has been completed.

If not, the reasons for delay along with its original time schedule for completion and cost escalation; and

The present status of the project and the time by which it is likely to be completed ?

No, Sir. Work is in progress.

The work got delayed mainly due to delay in removal of five shops by Mumbai Municipal Corporation on west side, delay in getting traffic blocked for the road, site being in busy area with constricted approaches etc. Work was originally planned to be completed by 30-6-2000 at the cost of Rs. 175.90 lakhs. No cost escalation is expected

Sub-structure has been completed up to bed block level. Temporary arrangements for casting of the girders across the railway track have been erected. The work is targeted for completion by 31-12-2000 subject to depositing of balance amount of Rs. 95.90 lakhs by the Mumbai Municipal Corporation as so far they have deposited only Rs. 80 lakhs against the estimated cost of Rs. 175.90 lakhs.
