By Monday morning, the antiquated bridge will have been removed in one go and new girders will be put in place at Kopri, Thane, for the other bridge in a section of the Eastern Express Highway (EEH)
Civic officials say a major part of the girder will be complete by the time Central Railway pulls down the bridge in November, thus speeding the process
The bridge was constructed in 1868-69, providing access to the dockside. It was declared unsafe in 2014, but since the construction of the 150 years old Hancock bridge, located between Sandhurst road and Byculla was in pipeline, the BMC had to put the plans on hold.
