The operation to transfer the girder on the southern side of the Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge, which connects the east-west part of Andheri, was completed successfully on the night of September 8, 2024. The girder, which is currently 90 meters above the earth, will be gradually lowered to 8 meters in the next few days. To ensure safety, this highly demanding endeavour will necessitate the involvement of professional engineers. After the beam reaches the planned height, work on the corridor will continue with authorisation from the Western Railway Administration, the BMC said in their media statement.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is working closely with Western Railway to get the necessary blocks to complete the project, they added.
