Work on the Patri Pul near Kalyan station of the Central Railway (CR), delayed earlier, was completed on Sunday night during an additional block of one hour and 15 minutes between 1.30 am and 2.45 am. With finishing touches left, the bridge is expected to be thrown open to motorists as a new year gift in January 2021.

As reported by mid-day, the work of launching the 76.67-meter-long open web girder had remained incomplete at the end of Sunday's block. "As some girder launching work was incomplete after Sunday's block, an additional night block was given between 1.30 am and 2.45 am and the remaining work was successfully completed," a CR spokesperson said.
