Ready and complete! The mega event of placing Maharashtra's longest bridge girders at the much-talked-about Patri Pul over eight lines in Kalyan is all set to happen next week for a period of four days.

"At 76.67 metres, these will be the longest bridge girders over railway lines in Maharashtra at about four times as long as a cricket pitch or one-fourth that of the Paris's Eiffel Tower. These are finally woven together and the most crucial task of all will now be to place them over rail lines with deft precision," a senior official said.
