The Elphinstone Bridge in Mumbai will be closed for two years starting April 10, 2025, due to its demolition and the construction of the new Elphinstone Flyover and Shivdi-Worli Elevated Connector Flyover by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). This upgrade is expected to improve connectivity and traffic flow in the long term.
Citizens with objections to the draft traffic notification can email their concerns to the Additional Commissioner of Police, Traffic at [email protected] by April 13, 2025.
