Mumbai Advances Railway Overbridge Projects to Improve Traffic Flow by 2027
Mumbai is undertaking major infrastructure upgrades with four new railway overbridges replacing aging century-old structures to ease traffic congestion. The Sion Railway Over Bridge's second girder is scheduled for launch on August 8-9, with the bridge opening delayed to the end of September due to technical work. Other projects include the Tilak Bridge replacement expected by mid-2027 and the Y Bridge in Byculla, aiming to improve east-west connectivity and reduce bottlenecks across the city.
