As the metro girder replacement work is underway on the Western Express Highway, a heavy traffic jam has occurred near the Nesco Exhibition Center on the western outskirts of Mumbai.
According to Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) officials, traffic backlogs and jams have occurred as workers are replacing the girders. He said that the traffic jam will be cleared in an hour or two. Officials added that a girder was brought down last night and is now being cut and removed. Officials further said that this is a planned activity and two more beams will be brought down in a day or two and will be cut and taken away. Since the beams are up to 35 feet long, it is not possible to transport them in one piece, so they are cut and transported.
