Western Railway completed demolition of Gokhale bridge at Andheri and the BMC simultaneously started the work of construction, but it appears that the deadline of May 31 for the opening of two lanes of the new bridge rests on ifs and buts. The civic body says this is because, for the work of piling and foundation on railway premises, they need at least six to seven service blocks on the tracks which carry locals and through trains through the day.

Gokhale bridge near Andheri railway station closed in the first week of November 2022 after the east side approach to the bridge was found to be dilapidated and dangerous in the structural audit report. The Western Railway (WR) was demolishing part of the bridge on the railway tracks, while the reconstruction is being done by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). While a news report earlier said the WR has handed over their portion of the site to BMC, the work of clearing the debris there is on.
