Road next to bridge widened, another short cut expected tomorrow, but connectivity still not up to the mark

The widened road next to the Gokhale bridge can accommodate five light vehicles at a time, while a shortcut is expected to be opened from Sunday
Following the huge public outcry, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has requested the Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute to propose a solution to connect the Gokhale bridge and the Barfiwala flyover without demolishing the latter.
The misalignment between the bridge and the flyover attracted country-wide criticism towards the BMC. In a letter to VJTI Director Dr Sachin Kore, on Thursday, the BMC said that considering the public inconvenience at CD Barfiwala road junction, “the Municipal Commissioner has strongly instructed to convey to you to kindly instruct the expert from your esteemed Institute to examine the time-saving proven construction methodology and technology using ND testing, or any other suitable proven technology for expediting the merger of these bridges without breaking existing CD Barfiwala Bridge structure.”
