After a slow start to the first side of the Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge at Andheri, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is in fast-track mode to put the second girder in place. There will be three ‘night blocks’ on the existing side for the removal of steel beams laid over the second girder.

The second girder was moved from the East to West side over the railway track during the intervening night of September 8 and September 9, without any specific block. Now the traffic police have announced that Gokhale bridge will be closed for all types of vehicular and pedestrian movement from 12 am to 4 am—from September 13 to September 15—for urgent work to carry out the trial run of the second open web girder.
