The city’s most delayed project—the reconstruction of Delisle Bridge in Lower Parel, which is a crucial road link in south Mumbai—will most likely be complete by April 2023, said BMC officials. The work is in the final stages and the Western Railway is expected to hand over the project to the BMC in about 15-20 days once the final girder is installed, railway officials told mid-day. The work of placing the final girder will continue for the next four days. Civic officials said they are confident of opening the bridge before next monsoon if the railways hands over the approach road of N M Joshi Marg by October 1.
Satish Thosar, chief engineer of the BMC’s bridges department, said, “We have completed our work on two approaches and are awaiting the railway portion to be completed so that we can start the remaining work. The work on other parts and asphalting on the bridge will be completed simultaneously and the bridge may reopen before the next monsoon.”
