The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) administration has decided to resume bus services on Andheri’s Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge in the next seven days.
On May 11, this newspaper highlighted the demands of residents for the restoration of bus services that had been diverted after the crucial east-west connector was closed in November 2022. After the bridge was thrown open for vehicular traffic on May 11, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) immediately removed height barriers the next day.
