Central Railway (CR) and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) are likely to pull down the Sion rail overbridge after the Mahim Mela ends on January 4. “We have received all clearances from the traffic police to pull down the bridge. We are waiting for the fair to end,” said a CR official.
Basic barricading work has already started,” the official added. Meanwhile, the traffic police have started putting up diversion signboards. “This is routine practice before closing any major road. This will help motorists,” a traffic police officer told mid-day.
