While the Western Railway section has already been removed, the Central Railway is now planning a block to complete the demolition
During scheduled midnight blocks between Byculla and Dadar, engineers first isolated and secured the OHE before shifting its load onto specially erected portal structures
This allowed crews to dismantle the bridge sections beneath the suspended wires without disturbing their alignment or tension
The section over the railway tracks will use open-web steel girders to allow wider spans and minimise disruption to train operations
Once complete, the bridge is expected to ease congestion in the Parel-Prabhadevi belt and provide a seamless east-west road link across one of Mumbai’s busiest rail corridors,
