The main challenge was to install the girder just 2.8 meters away from the first one installed earlier.  The drive was conducted under the guidance of Commissioner and Administrator of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation  Bhushan Gagrani and Additional Municipal Commissioner (Eastern Suburbs)  Amit Saini.

The girder was established on the route from Nariman Point to Worli. It weighs 2,500 metric tons and is 143 meters long, 31.7 meters wide, and 31 meters high. After completing the remaining works, the next phase of the Mumbai coastal road will start soon.
