Andheri's Gopal Krishna Gokhale Bridge, which connects to the westbound arm of the Barfiwala flyover in Mumbai, is getting ready to open for commuters. PIC/SATEJ SHINDE

The artwork was themed on the essence of Mumbai

The murals were painted on the grid section of the bridge above the railway tracks 

The newly constructed connector is likely to open this month

This vital connector was shut for traffic on November 7, 2022, after being declared unsafe

It was initially expected to be completed by May 2023 but has faced multiple delays over the past two years

The BMC opened two lanes of the bridge on February 26, 2024, with height restrictions

The Gokhale Bridge connects Andheri East and West and is a vital link for daily commuters in the area
