Located in Thane’s Diva area, the temporary structure over the Ulhas River was reportedly washed away during the heavy rain that lashed the Mumbai Metropolitan Region between July 4 and 6. The structure was erected as a temporary access route for the movement of equipment, construction material and manpower involved in the construction of the main railway bridge.
While the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) has not issued an official statement, sources confirmed the development and said it has not affected the overall construction schedule. “The temporary structure has collapsed, but it has not delayed operations or impacted the project’s construction plans,” a source said.
