The Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) seems to have an appetite for risk as it plans to keep the Dombivli road bridge open for traffic despite the IIT Bombay terming it as dangerous. KDMC has said that it will take all possible care and fix the bridge with guidelines from the IIT and railway engineers.

According to the report on the Dombivli road bridge, it was assessed on March 23 by a team of IIT Bombay. The report said, the super-structure and the sub-structure of the bridge were unsafe and it should be closed down. The report stated that the inspection found heavy corrosion, poor quality concrete, misaligned parapet and failure of expansion joints. The report suggested a 12-point rehabilitation programme recommending that the bridge should be shut till then.
