Officials of the BMC and Western Railway met on Tuesday to sort out issues related to the ongoing work at Gokhale Road bridge, following which the former has assured on-time reopening of two lanes of the Andheri east-west connector. The municipal corporation last week expressed dissatisfaction over the slow progress of demolition work by the railways.

Additional Municipal Commissioner P Velrasu along with the engineers concerned visited the site last Thursday, after which the BMC issued a press note, stating, "The railway contractor has completed [demolition of] only 30 metres of the 80-metre portion of the bridge in the past two months. Only after the complete demolition of the railway bridge can the municipal corporation speed up the rest of the work.”
