The Gokhale Bridge, which connects Andheri East to West, will now be entirely reconstructed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), said civic officials. The initial plans, however, were to only construct the approach roads. While a portion of the bridge has already been demolished, the civic body is still in the process of drawing up the reconstruction plan.

The Western Railway authorities have asked the BMC to raise the height of the bridge. With the bridge being a crucial connector, the repair work has led to interruption of traffic flow.
