The old makes way for the new is the adage. However, in this case, a near-century-old structure was unceremoniously broken down to make way for a modern transportation project. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has razed portions of the Currey Road bridge for its Monorail construction work.

The MMRDA has demolished the bridge wall at three places, in order to erect pillars for the Wadala-Jacob circle Monorail corridor. Pics/Datta Kumbhar
