Thane’s Kopri rail overbridge (ROB) is yet another newly opened bridge to wither within a few months of use, exposing more shoddy work in the state. Inaugurated by the CM in February, the cement concrete portion of the bridge has developed cracks and potholes. The MMRDA said this stretch was built by Central Railway.
 
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde inaugurated the railway overbridge (ROB) on February 9, which coincidentally is also his birthday. MLA Pratap Sarnaik and the then metropolitan commissioner S V R Srinivas were also present.
