The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has pushed the deadline for the reopening of Gokhale bridge once again, stating that two of the structure’s four lanes will only be completed by the end of the year, if everything goes according to plan. 

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, at a press conference held on May 19, had said that the bridge would be opened by October-end. The BMC also announced that it would open two lanes before the monsoon but later blamed steel supply issues for the delay.
