The civic body will soon start constructing the pillars for a brand new Gokhale Road bridge in Andheri, as Western Railway on Thursday dismantled the west side of the flyover. The east side will be ready for takeover by the BMC on March 31, officials said.

“Western Railway handed over the west side of the bridge to the BMC on March 16. The east side will be ready for handover on March 31 after the dismantling of abutment and completion of ancillary work. The BMC will construct the new bridge, including the railway portion,” WR’s chief public relations officer Sumit Thakur said.
