A temporary bridge was constructed over the Dadar-Dharavi nullah in a record 17 days, civic officials said on Tuesday. It will be opened for light vehicles today, and the work on building a permanent structure will begin after the monsoon.  

The bridge, which is important for the connectivity between Mahim station and Dharavi, was closed for traffic a few years ago, after a portion of the culvert bridge collapsed. The closure caused traffic jams in the area, following which the BMC decided on a temporary fix.
