The Juhu-Tara Road bridge, which has been shut since June 4 for repairs, could be reopened next week, but only if the cube test for it is positive.

A cube test involves identifying the strength of concrete cubes that are laid on the bridge, and if it is positive, the bridge will be opened, a report in this paper said, citing senior civic officials. Bridges are under the scanner after a foot overbridge collapsed near CSMT. Importantly, the report said that after meeting Ganeshotsav Samanvay Samiti members, the mayor said will inspect dilapidated bridges along with Ganesh mandal representatives, BMC and traffic officials. Then they will take a call on whether to allow Ganesh idols on such bridges. The mandals demanded that the bridges should be kept open and height barriers could be placed after the festival.
