Central Railway (CR) will be saving the heritage plaques on the Elphinstone bridge that is soon to be demolished. The century old plaques dating 1913 and 1911 are embedded on the bridge, one in stone and other on the iron parts.

“We are grateful to the Railways for taking this step in the right direction as these bridges have been a part of the city for more than a generation and have witnessed its growth in the last century,” researcher Ramchandra Venkatesh said.
