New bridge will be built within 19 months: BMC

WITH THE Central Railway dismantling the century-old Carnac Bridge ahead of the 27-hour deadline, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Sunday said that a newly reconstructed bridge will be completed within 19 months from the day of final demolition.

P Velrasu, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) said that the work orders for constructing the new bridge were issued in October 2022 and since this will be a prefabricated structure, the construction and fabrication works have already begun at a workshop in Ambala.
