The peer review for the coastal road project will be carried out in seven phases. The first phase is likely to be completed by February 2016.
Around a month ago, the civic body had floated tenders for appointing consultants for the project’s peer review. It has received several bids for reviewing the coastal road draft project report (DPR). The bids will be opened by the civic body on Thursday. A senior civic official confirmed that the peer review’s first phase will be completed by February 2016.
“The aim is to complete the project by the year 2019 and we are planning accordingly,” said the official. The BMC is likely to utilize around Rs 2 crore from its budgetary allocation for the project.
