“We inspected the bridge. It is a minor issue, which we will rectify within a few days,” said Satish Thosar, chief of the bridges department. 

The Kemps Corner bridge was in the news a few years ago when people spotted a ‘crack’ in the structure.

In 2018, a number of people shared pictures of the apparent crack on social media, which created panic. Later, BMC officials inspected the bridge and declared it safe. The civic body engineers termed the ‘crack’ a “design flaw”.
