The work on the construction of a new Gokhale Road bridge in Andheri progressed rapidly over the weekend. Western Railway opened, then granted the tender for the old bridge’s demolition within 24 hours, and the groundwork to bring down the dilapidated structure is set to begin today.

Confirming the development, Western Railway`s (WR) chief public relations officer Sumit Thakur said on Sunday, “The preparatory work of pre-activities for the de-launching of the bridge will start tomorrow. The planning of the block will be taken up in 20 days, and the structural frames over the rail lines will be removed by January."
