After being stuck for years, work on the Vikhroli road overbridge (ROB) finally started on Tuesday morning. East-west connectivity in the area has been an issue ever since the level-crossing gate was shut 10 years ago, but consistent efforts of the local community has helped kick-start work on the bridge.
Speaking to mid-day, Mario Rodrigues, chairman of the Bombay Catholic Sabha St Joseph Vikhroli unit, said, “There was a positive development in the morning with work starting on the east end of the bridge. We have been continuously in touch with the authorities concerned for early execution of the long-pending project.”
