Gokhale bridge reopening pushed to mid-November

Confirming the development, an official from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) Bridges department, said that the bridge is now likely to be reopened in November this year. The announcement was made after Ameet Satam, MLA, Andheri West, conducted a joint visit with BMC officials on Wednesday

A press note sent by Satam, said, “As per the BMC, the design of the bridge in the railway portion was approved by Railways on February 2 and the order for steel girders in the railway portion were placed on February 8. However, the design of the girder is such that only two companies in India could fulfill it. And the one company with whom the order was placed went on a strike leading to delays. Subsequently, the order was placed with the other company, who will fulfill it by July 2023,” he said
