Mumbai: Carnac Bridge Ready, Awaiting Final Railway Approval
Imagine a very old bridge in Mumbai called Carnac Bridge, built over 150 years ago, is now fixed!
It's like a shortcut to get to different parts of the city.
The bridge was closed for a while because it was not safe and was taken down.
After lots of work, it is rebuilt and ready to be used, but the railway company still needs to give the final okay.
This bridge is super important because it connects different parts of the city, making it easier for people to travel.
Carnac Bridge in Mumbai is ready for use but awaits final clearance.
The bridge, a key link, connects south Mumbai to eastern suburbs and Navi Mumbai.
Originally built in 1866-67, it was closed to heavy vehicles in 2014 and demolished in 2022.
The BMC completed the reconstruction by June 10, awaiting the Indian Railways' approval.
Other projects, Bellasis and Sion Flyovers, are slated for completion by December 15, 2025, and May 31, 2026, respectively.
