MUMBAI: Fourteen labourers had a miraculous escape but sustained injuries after a steel span of an under-construction bridge of the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) extension project collapsed at MTNL Junction at Bandra-Kurla Complex early on Friday.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA), which is constructing the 3.8km SCLR extension flyover connecting LBS Marg to Western Express Highway to decongest traffic on the busy stretch, has ordered an inquiry into the collapse that took place around 4.30am.
Nearly 65% of the work on the Rs 415-crore flyover has been completed, said officials.
