The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will not be able to start work on the single lane of Gokhale bridge that was planned in order to facilitate vehicular movement between Andheri east and west before the monsoon. The bridge itself is likely to be completed by Diwali.

Andheri West MLA Ameet Satam visited the bridge site on Wednesday with Additional Municipal Commissioner P Velrasu. During the visit, a BMC official said, “By June, all the bridge work other than that which is related to the railway will be completed. From July 15, three months will be needed to complete the railway portion and then assemble the structure.”
