Overview

• The Mumbai Traffic Police confirmed the Prabhadevi road overbridge will shut from the night of September 10, with demolition to begin three days after Anant Chaturdashi.
• The teardown clears the path for a double-decker corridor under the Sewri–Worli Elevated Connector designed to link Atal Setu with central and south Mumbai networks.
• Residents of nearby buildings, including Haaji Noorani and Lakshmi Nivas, oppose the shutdown over unresolved relocation details and are threatening fresh protests.
• The state in April pledged in-situ redevelopment for 19 affected buildings and tasked MMRDA with delivery, even as the project design was revised to immediately remove only two structures.
• Closure of the 125-year-old bridge that spans the Parel and Prabhadevi stations is expected to strain traffic used by an estimated 500,000–700,000 daily commuters, with officials pressing to avoid further delays after prior postponements.
