Mumbai's Gokhale Bridge Misaligned with the Barfiwala Flyover | BMC Blames Railways

On February 26th, one arm of the Gokhale Bridge was opened to the public after being demolished in 2022. The bridge, which cost 90 crores to build, is an important link between Andheri East and Andheri West. However, during the construction process, the BMC failed to properly align the Gokhale bridge with the Barfiwala flyover. This has left residents and local activists dissatisfied with the BMC. If you want to learn more about how the BMC failed to align the two bridges and what reasons they gave for their failure, watch the video.

BMC Engineers are worst engineers ever. Look at mumbai roads & then they blame heavy rain for this perhaps they failed to improvize their own standards & procedures over the time despite being india's richest Municipal Corporation. Do you smell something? like corruption? heavy corruption? Only corruption & no work? Mumbai people, we unfortunately deserve such failed municipal authorities.

[@NARUTO-7764]

This bmc is absolutely wastage They are spending 10Cr+ on cleaning roads Just by putting water on it and not wiping it Due to this bike accidents happened Then they spend 14cr+ for putting peacock around street roads for beautification Which doesn't make the roads look attractive cause it's dirty First clean it then put some Decoration A clean road with no Decoration also looks good And now this misalignment of bridge Bmc is now joke

[@RAC316]

In original bridge mishap there was atleast 1 death, and after 5yrs of waiting we get this. These people & system will never change

[@nuranichandra2177]

Just like any other project undertaken in India. Lack of planning, execution and quality. Don’t make a big deal of it. Life goes on.

[@sparkar9869]

This is a big concern, because now the railway station road is jammed every day due to barfiwala Flyover closure, now how much time they will take to resolve the issue will delay other people for getting to work

[@tusharmahaley]

BMC don’t have drawings of Barfiwala flyover. Then who has it?? Common public 😂😂 Don’t give lame excuse for your failure. Usual tactics to pass on blame to others.

[@vanitatejwanidietician]

This is clear case of corruption and negligence, wondering that is the bridge even constructed well enough to take the load of vehicles and hope it's safe too 🙏

[@unnik8505]

How much money did BMC swindle? Cannot blame railways? Before this project was initiated, all pros and cons, the area, the environmental surrounding, the quality of the ground structure should have been inspected and measured.

[@smokeydreamer4582]

Hopefully the new south side girder be aligned properly to barfiwala to ease traffic. Then they should use this girder as 2 way traffic for juhu circle - highway, and this present girder for SV road junction - highway traffic. as a temporary solution.

Amazing Chandrayan mission, amazing MTHL, Metro work in full swing. Navi Mumbai metro finally open to public after ridiculously long 12 yrs. We started expecting good things that we deserve. Thank you BMC for bring us back to our senses.

Sahukaar model and nepotism in awarding tenders is the only reason entire Maharashtra has skewed only to a triangle of Mumbai- Pune- Thane. This narrowed focus has also blocked water flow, increased traffic congestion, persistent slums, in the Economic Capital of India. What a shame on Maharashtra Govt.
