The Juhu-Tara Road bridge, which has been shut since June 4 for repairs, could be reopened next week, but only if the cube test for it is positive. The decision to shut down many bridges in the city came after the foot over bridge collapse near CSMT. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) ordered a re-audit of bridges, as the consultant's reports did not gauge the problems to the structures. All dilapidated bridges were then shut before May 31. But the move was criticised by commuters and in a meeting of BMC officials and traffic police with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, it was decided to check the possibility of opening up the bridges.

After repeated criticism, the BMC asked VJTI experts to carry out load tests to identify if the bridges could be opened for light motor vehicles. After the positive result given by these experts, the BMC started work on the Juhu Tara Road bridge. BMC officials said that the work of removing some concrete layers to reduce the load on the bridge and install height barriers is almost complete.
