The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has asked police to immediately shut Gokhale Bridge, an east-west road connector over Western Railway tracks in Andheri, for vehicular traffic, a senior official told PTI Thursday (Pic/Nimesh Dave)

The process of shutting down the Andheri bridge will begin next week (Pic/Nimesh Dave)

Presently only two lanes of the bridge are functional and work on the new lanes, except on the railway portion, is on but at a very slow pace. But even though just two lanes are functional, it is helpful to residents as this is a key east-west connector (Pic/Nimesh Dave)

The work of reconstruction of the existing Gokhale Bridge at Andheri (Municipal Portion) is in progress by the appointed contractual agency M/s SMS Limited. At present half of the bridge towards the north side is demolished and construction of the same is in progress (Phase-I) File Pic
