Torn down around four years ago, the vital Hancock Bridge, between Mazgaon and Sandhurst Road, still does not have a definitive deadline for reconstruction. The project hangs in the balance as the civic officials accuse the Central Railway (CR) of delaying the progress.

A civic official said that close to 50 per cent of the girders have arrived on the site and a part of the bridge could be opened within a month, but the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is yet to receive a go-ahead from the CR.
