Six years after it was demolished, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Monday evening opened the newly constructed Hancock bridge for vehicular traffic. However, some work on the bridge still remains to be completed such as painting it, fixing of cat’s eyes and resurfacing a portion of the slip road. Cat’s eyes are small reflective pieces fixed at the edge of roads to guide vehicles as they glow when light from vehicle headlights falls on them.
