The reconstruction of the historic 154-year-old Carnac Bridge near Masjid Bunder railway station is progressing rapidly, with 83 per cent of the iron girders required for the bridge already delivered to the project site, BMC said in an official statement on Thursday.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) aims to complete the installation of the second beam by January 19, 2025, and open the bridge to traffic by June 5, 2025, if all operations proceed as scheduled.
