The second girder on the Mumbai Coastal Road was launched on Wednesday morning. With this launch the Coastal Road is connected on both sides to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, but for the construction of the road over it. The work of constructing roads and waterproofing will take a few more months before the connector is ready for use.

The work of setting up the second bow arch string arch girder began at 3 am on Wednesday. The girder was moved in stages adjacent to the first girder, while keeping an eye on the tidal conditions. Weighing 2,500 metric tons, the girder setup was completed at 6.07 am, after ensuring the cones on all sides were perfectly matched.
