Even as Delisle Road bridge, one of the most crucial and awaited bridges in the city, has missed the May deadline, Western Railway has assured that work will begin this month. One girder is planned to be installed this month before the onset of monsoon.

“It is a massive girder and will be pushed with much precision and planning over the rail lines. It also involves stopping of rail traffic and a major block will be required for the work. The block is now planned in early June. The idea is to finish with one girder before the monsoon sets in and the other one around August 2022,” a senior official said.
