The civic chief Iqbal Singh Chahal visited the Gokhale bridge site on Monday along with local MLA Amit Satam to inspect the work being carried out. Activists, meanwhile, say the work of the bridge is way behind schedule as of now. The bridge has been closed for almost one year, since the first week of November 2022 and the BMC already missed the deadline to open at least two lanes before the monsoon. It then declared another deadline of November end. 

According to a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official, the formation of the first girder, weighing about 1,300 tonnes at a height of 25 metres at the project site has been completed.
