Overview
- MMRDA barricaded the bridge Friday night and began breaking the approach ramps around 10 pm under a heavy police presence.
- Mumbai Traffic Police activated diversions, time-bound one-way rules on Currey Road bridge, and no-parking zones, with long jams reported on Tilak, Lower Parel and other corridors.
- Public transport was rerouted as BEST and MSRTC adjusted services, including longer Parel depot detours that triggered a small fare-stage jump for some MSRTC trips.
- The replacement will be a 132-metre double-decker road-over-bridge integrated with the 4.5-km Sewri–Worli Elevated Connector, featuring 2+2 lanes on both decks and a pedestrian path on the lower level.
- A revised plan provides MHADA relocation for 83 families from Haji Noorani and Lakshmi Nivas, while concerns from residents of 17 other nearby buildings remain unresolved.
