Six months after it was constructed, part of the brand new Teli Gali connector, which was built as an approach road to the Gokhale bridge at Andheri East, will be remade. The BMC has issued directions to the contractor in this regard. Civic officials said they were left with no choice as “uneven undulations” had been discovered on the yet-to-be-opened structure even as shocked citizens slammed the municipal corporation.

It is complete madness. This part of the bridge was completed just 6-7 months ago and in such a short period, ‘undulations’ have developed. If this is the situation now, I dread to think what will happen once it is opened to the public and vehicles start using it. British-era bridges have lasted for more than 100 years. The earlier flyovers built by the BMC also lasted for 40-50 years but this bridge is witnessing undulations in just half a year,” said Dhaval Shah, chairman of the Lokhandwala Oshiwara Citizen’s Association.
