After the incident, BMC officers and Bridge Division staff immediately rushed to the spot and in cooperation with Mumbai Police and Mumbai Traffic Police started the process of diverting the traffic from an alternative route.
The BMC separated parts of the 'height barrier' with the help of gas cutters.
"Although the impact of the container damaged the 'height barrier' of the bridge, there was no damage to the structure of the bridge. Therefore, there is no danger to the bridge and the traffic on the bridge is moving smoothly," BMC said.
"Efforts are on to restore the traffic by removing the container. Also, proceedings are underway to file a case with the police against the concerned container driver," added the BMC.
