Gokhale bridge: Two lanes to be opened within six months of commencement of repair work, say officials

A day after the announcement of shutting down of the Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge in Andheri, civic officials on Friday said they have set up a target to open two lanes of the reconstructed bridge, which runs above the railway tracks, within six months from the day of commencement of repair work.

Confirming the development, P Velrasu, additional municipal commissioner (Projects), said that the approximate target for completion of the project overall is 18 months.

The tenders for the bridge will be floated by mid-December, civic officials said.
