Bridge work on Kalina-Kurla Road finally begins in full swing

The muhurat of the bridge work had taken place in early 2009 in the presence of corporator Alice Johnson Therattil;  Naseem Khan - Suburbs Gurdian Minister along with MRCC President and MLA Kripashankar Singh. Since the work in progress got delayed, recently a meeting was called in the chamber of  Director Ashok Shintre along with all senior officers and the following ponts were discussed:
1. The bridge work should be speeded up and completed by end of April 2011.
2. The bridge started partially collapsing on the sides as the traffic load is very heavy and it is too old.
3. The condition of the bridge is turning bad to worse day by day and the Corporator was asked to contact Sr. Inspector Traffic Vakola to seriously look into the matter as he was not diverting the full traffic through CST road instead of Kalina Kurla Road even though Jt. Commissioner Traffic Mumbai has given his consent.
4. Director ordered all concerned Sr. Officials to personally go to the site and take stock of the situation in speeding of the work.
5. Although work order duration is 21 months for completion of bridge work from 1st November 2008, it seems a major portion of the work is yet to be completed. It was also  seriously discussed that in case of any serious collapse of the bridge it would be at the risk and cost of all concerned officials.
Subsequently the work started in full swing by the third week of March after closing the traffic at Kalina Kurla road by diverting to CST road.
