The Mumbai civic body successfully launched a second 675-tonne girder at the Hancock bridge across the railway track near Sandhurst Road station in south Mumbai, a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official said on Monday.

The Central Railway had demolished the British era bridge located between Sandhurst Road and Byculla stations in 2016 due to its low height. The BMC is rebuilding it to end the inconvenience experienced by lakhs of residents in the area.
