A section of an unused commercial structure under the Andheri flyover, a portion of which fell recently, has prompted action from the BMC. The corporation is in the final stages of awarding a Rs 90 crore contract for major repairs to the bridge. However, it has come to light that a private builder is responsible for maintaining the bridge. The corporation is currently awaiting a response before proceeding with its plans.
The Andheri flyover, part of the Western Express Highway also known as Jog flyover, made headlines after a construction section underneath it fell on a moving vehicle on July 4. BMC officials inspected the site following the incident and confirmed that while the flyover itself remains safe, the affected area was an incomplete structure beneath it and not part of the flyover.
