After an unofficial inauguration by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) announced that the Delisle Road bridge at Parel will be opened within the next three to four days. The completion of this bridge`s construction has already been delayed by a year. Back in February 2023, mid-day was the first to report that the bridge was slated for reopening post-monsoon.
Initially declared dilapidated in 2018, the bridge—that runs over the railway tracks near Lower Parel station—was promptly closed to traffic. Ever since the bridge has been under construction. The reconstruction process has lingered over five years, causing difficulties for commuters and motorists. Later on, only one lane, connecting the west and east sides of Lower Parel, was made available to the public this September.
