BMC finalises contractor to reconstruct ‘extremely dangerous’ Ghatkopar bridge

Seven months after the dilapidated Laxmi Baug nulla bridge in Ghatkopar was shut, the BMC has finalised a contractor for its reconstruction.

In May, the civic body had closed the bridge following a structural audit report that identified it as one of the 29 bridges in the city that were in “extremely dangerous” condition.

A small temporary iron bridge was constructed for light vehicles, which was opened in July last year.
