+onsortium of +onstruma +onsultants" Mott Mc 6onald and Schlaich Bergermann.

Financial Implications

The %ro#ect !as initiall stated to cost /s. 845 crores in 2999" and the estimate !as then raised to455 crores in 3555" and no! is estimated at /s. :24 crores. These estimates have been garnered

from ne!spaper articles over the ears" as inspite of asking for the reports concerning the pro#ect

from MS/6+6" none of them !ere made available to the panel.

ccording to a ne!spaper article in the Times of &ndia of ugust 85" 3555" the MS/6+ intends

to recover the cost of the sea link b charging a one-!a toll of up to /s. ;5sterberg cell technolog used for the first time in &ndia to check pile strength (for up to

Project OverviewThe entire pro#ect !as originall conceived as one large pro#ect comprising" different

components" but in order to accelerate the overall construction schedule" the pro#ect has been

divided into five construction packages
