Captain Vinayak Gore flyover near Vile Parle station, which is the closest alternative to closed Gokhale Road bridge for Andheri residents, will be closed post midnight for repair works, WR officials said on Thursday. IIT Bombay, in a recent audit, found damages and recommended repairs.
A recent safety audit conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, found damages in Captain Vinayak Gore flyover and suggested replacement of bearings along with other repairs. For this reason, the bridge needs to be closed for traffic, but only between 1 am and 4 am from April 11 to 26, officials said.
Dhaval Shah of the Andheri Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizens’ Association said that since the closure of Gokhale Road bridge last year, many heavy vehicles have been using the Vile Parle flyover, which is meant for only light vehicles.
