The Mumbai municipal administration is learning from recent incidents near the Gokhale Bridge and Barfiwala Bridge in Andheri. Additional Commissioner Amit Saini has been assigned to investigate the situation to ensure thorough planning in future projects. Motorists are still facing difficulties despite one side of the Gokhale Bridge opening on February 26, as the Barfiwala Bridge remains closed due to a gap.
This has disrupted traffic flow and caused delays, leading to criticism on social media. The administration aims to identify the cause of the planning failure and prevent such issues in the future. IIT Mumbai and VGTI have been consulted to address the situation, with work expected to be completed by June 30. However, delays in the arrival of bridge components have impacted construction deadlines, resulting in potential fines for the contractor involved.
