Almost eight years after it was declared unsafe for use and was shut for vehicular traffic, the Central Railway Friday finally began the demolition work of Carnac Bridge in South Mumbai.
The Central Railway officials said they were unable to get the NOC and permission from the Mumbai Traffic Police and the BMC to begin the work until recently and after receiving the necessary permissions, the work began from Friday.
The Carnac Bridge is located between Masjid Bunder and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and goes over the central railway tracks. The bridge was constructed in 1868-69 to provide access to the dock-side.
