The portion of the Gokhale Road bridge over the railway lines in Andheri will be built in two phases. In the first stage, the north-end carriageway (Virar-side) will be rebuilt, while the south carriageway (Dadar-side) will be reconstructed in the second stage. The matter was extensively discussed between railway and BMC engineers at a meeting in June. The Western Railway on Tuesday requested the BMC to submit the required drawings to expedite the next course of action.

As per the minutes of the BMC-railways meeting exclusively accessed by mid-day from WR’s Mumbai division, the seven-point discussion covered every aspect of dismantling and reconstruction of the bridge.
