The eastern suburbs have a bridge crisis and the BMC is in a race against time. The Railways is soon planning to demolish the dilapidated Ghatkopar east-west bridge, which is 45 years old, but the next best option for commuters looking to cross sides—Vikhroli road bridge—is only 40 per cent complete. The civic body must now build the Vikhroli bridge before the Ghatkopar one is pulled down.
According to the BMC plans, the former will be completed by May 2023 but only its pillars have been erected. The length and width of the bridge are 656 metres and 50 metres respectively.
