In a doff of the hat to history, Central Railway will be saving heritage plaques on the Elphinstone bridge that is soon to be demolished. Two century-old plaques dating 1913 and 1911 are embedded on the bridge, one in stone and the other on the iron parts.

A researcher expressed his gratitude to the Railways for this as a step in the right direction as these bridges have been a part of the city for more than a generation and have witnessed its growth.
