The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday said that it will seek technical opinion from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay and Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) on the structural stability of Andheri’s Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge, which was closed on November 7 this year.
Following the report submission, a decision will be taken on whether to reopen the bridge for pedestrian use and light vehicle movement or not, said civic officials. Monday’s development came after the state government on November 11 proposed to reopen the bridge after taking a second opinion on its structural stability.
