Mumbai's Reconstructed Sion Bridge to Reopen Soon, Aiming to Ease Traffic
Mumbai's Sion bridge, closed for over two years due to structural concerns, is set to reopen soon. The new bridge, replacing the 1912 structure, features a longer span, four vehicular lanes, a footpath, and an underpass to improve connectivity near Sion railway station. Constructed jointly by BMC and Central Railway, it aims to ease traffic congestion in Sion, Kurla, and Dharavi. Final works and approvals are underway, with an expected opening in mid to late October.
