To solve the traffic chaos following the closure of many bridges in the city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is thinking of using pre-fabricated bridges. These can be installed within three months at the required spot. However, their cost and technicalities are yet to be explored by the BMC.

Option discussed

When there was a lot of hue and cry over the shutting of around 20 bridges as there were no alternatives, and no tenders were floated for their repair or reconstruction, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had called for a review of the situation. It was during this meeting that the idea of using prefabricated bridges was discussed.
