Work on the Parel TT bridge and Sion rail overbridge will begin soon. The traffic police are likely to take a final decision this week on pulling down both bridges for redevelopment. The Sion bridge is to be reconstructed for the 5th and 6th railway lines.
“These bridges in south central Mumbai are crucial for traffic. So we need to understand the traffic situation before allowing both to be pulled down. We had granted a no-objection certificate (NOC) for the Parel TT bridge in June. But we need to understand the current traffic scenario,” said an official of the traffic police.
