The girder launching for the Carnac Bunder Bridge is likely to take place in October, as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) hopes to get a railway mega block to carry out the work after the monsoon.

BMC officials from the bridges department said they had requested the Central Railway (CR) for a 6-hour mega block to launch the girder of the bridge, located between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Masjid Bunder railway station. “Assembly of the girder has been completed. However, we were informed that the railways will not allow mega blocks during the monsoon. We are hoping we will get mega blocks in October,” said an official from the bridges department. CR officials said they have been corresponding with the BMC in this regard.
