The BMC completed the girder launching of Carnac Bridge early Friday morning. The bridge is expected to be completed before the monsoon. BMC had started shifting the 550-metric-ton girder earlier, but the process was halted on Sunday due to technical difficulties when only 12 metres remained.

During a special block taken by the Central Railway administration on Friday between 1.30 am and 4 am, railway traffic and power supply were temporarily suspended to facilitate the girder shifting. “The challenging task of shifting the 550-metric-ton northern girder of the Carnac Bridge, which connects P D’Mello Road near Masjid railway station, has been completed in the railway section,” said a BMC official.
