The Western Railway on Tuesday set in motion the process of rebuilding the Delisle road overbridge (ROB) at Lower Parel railway station. Heavy-duty machinery was brought to the site to speed up the dismantling process, so the reconstruction can begin soon.

"The commissioner of railway safety has given approvals for dismantling [the bridge] and it will take three months to complete the process," said a senior WR official, adding, "On Wednesday, we will select consultants through the quality and cost based selection process, which gives merit to the quality of work over the cost. After the selection, the drawings and planning of the new bridge will commence, which will be finalised by November.
