The civic body will begin constructing the new Gokhale Road bridge by mid-February, after Western Railway (WR) will hand over the portion above the tracks in Andheri, said officials. WR is dismantling the girder and the pillar of the old bridge, which are on the property of the railways, a BMC official said.

“After the completion of the railway’s work, our work will begin. Initially, the support pillars for the girder will be constructed. The construction of the pillars on both sides will be completed in a month. Until then, the fabrication of the girder will be complete,” the official added.
