Nearly a year has passed since the 150-year-old Carnac Bunder Bridge was demolished, prompting the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to take a significant step forward. Last week, the BMC issued a tender for constructing the approaches of the bridge, signalling progress in the reconstruction efforts. The dilapidated bridge, which was razed to the ground on November 20 last year, is now on the path to revival.
According to officials from the BMC's bridges department, it has been estimated that it will take approximately 12 months to construct the approaches, with a projected cost of 252 crore. The officers stated that the process of creating the girder over the railway track has already commenced, and certain sections of the bridge have reached the eastern side of the flyover.
A senior engineer from the bridges department confirmed that tender bids will be finalised within a month, and the selected contractor will be tasked with completing the work within the stipulated 12-month timeframe. The entire girder is being manufactured in a factory, and arrangements are underway with the railways to facilitate its installation. Additionally, there were illegal structures, including a gym, a temple, and around 10 unauthorised centres on either side of the bridge. The temple has been provided an alternate space while the gym has been instructed to vacate the premises.
Earlier this year, concerns were raised when it was reported that the BMC might not meet the 19-month deadline for reconstructing the Carnac Bunder Bridge. However, P Velarasu, the additional municipal commissioner (project) at BMC, reassured the public that the construction work was progressing according to the planned schedule.
In conclusion, the reconstruction of the Carnac Bunder Bridge, a vital link for the people of Mumbai, is gradually moving forward despite challenges and delays. The BMC's efforts, though faced with hurdles, remain dedicated to completing this crucial project within the stipulated time frame. As the city waits for the bridge to be restored to its former glory, continued coordination between all stakeholders is essential to ensure a smooth and timely reconstruction process, minimising inconveniences for the residents and commuters who rely on this important thoroughfare.
