Experts of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) and Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) visited the Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge on Sunday. This week, experts from both institutes will have a joint meeting and discuss a solution to connecting the structure to the Barfiwala connector.
There is a height difference between the new Gokhale bridge and the connector in Andheri West, which is 2.83 metres. Gokhale Bridge is over the Barfiwala connector which crosses S V Road and connects Juhu Gully without any signal. The BMC has appointed VJTI and IIT-B to give solutions to connect both bridges. Recently VJTI submitted a report stating there is no need to demolish the Barfiwala connector, as the bridge can connect the last four spans which shall be suitably lifted. The pedestals shall be raised and re-cast to match the profile of the lifted spans.
