CR, civic engineers inspect Thakurli road over bridge and declare it perfectly safe; what were claimed to be cracks, are well-designed construction joints to absorb pressure

The images tweeted by MNS leader Rajesh Kadam claiming the over bridge was unsafe
The Thakurli road over bridge, built in 2018, has developed cracks and poses a danger to people - this claim recently made by local Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leaders was fortunately found to be untrue, after the bridge was inspected. Senior engineers from Central Railway and the civic body inspected it and found it perfectly safe. What was claimed to be cracks, were well designed construction joints to absorb the pressure and jerks on the bridge.
MNS leader Rajesh Kadam put up pictures of the bridge on social media claiming it was in a dangerous condition. "I demand a complete structural audit of the bridge as soon as possible and have conveyed so to the commissioner of the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation," he said.
