Residents of Andheri have been demanding early opening of the new Gokhale bridge which connects the East to the West. The bridge was closed in the first week of November after which it was demolished by the railways. However, despite promises by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to open at least two lanes of the bridge by May, the fabrication work is yet to begin.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the spot on Friday to take stock of the situation. “There is an issue of steel supply for fabrication of the bridge, so I called upon the officer of Jindal Group to provide it as soon as possible. The BMC has said they will complete work of the bridge by October,” he said. The BMC chief Iqbal Singh Chahal has assured that the work will continue even during the rains and be complete by October.
