Concerns as Tilak bridge in Dadar East raises safety worries due to its proximity to an 89-year-old structure

The new bridge being constructed dangerously close to the residential building
Another marvel in the city after Andheri’s Gokhale bridge? The new Tilak bridge under construction in Dadar East is abutting the adjacent 89-year-old Vishnu Niwas building, raising concerns among activists about its proximity and safety. Activist Zoru Bhathena shared pictures of the bridge on social media, calling it another engineering marvel after the Gokhale bridge. “This is concerning. How can they build so close to a residential building? Also, the beam appears to pass under a part of the building, what are the implications here?”. “This could turn out to be a bigger problem than the Gokhale bridge. I anticipate involvement from institutions like IIT and VJTI soon,” expressed another activist.
