The CM also appointed a team of IIT-B experts to study the reasons behind the bridge&rsquo;s collapse.
The team &mdash; comprising Prof Jyoti Prakash (water expert), Jangid (structural expert) and VS Vasudevan (geothermal expert) &mdash; has already begun its work, said Fadnavis yesterday, while replying to a question at a discussion on the issue in the assembly.
Considering the poor condition of the Mumbai-Goa highway, Fadnavis directed the National Highways Authority of India to repair the entire stretch by August 25 so that commuters travelling to Konkan for Ganesh Chaturthi can have a smooth ride.
