Mumbai's Sion Railway Over Bridge (ROB) project, which has faced multiple delays, is finally set to get its second girder between August 8 and 9, with the bridge's opening pushed to the end of September. The first girder was launched on June 22, but the second, originally scheduled for June 20 and later pushed to June 30, has faced further delays.
The project, which has been shut since August 2024, is being jointly executed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Central Railway, with the latter handling the bridge over the tracks and the former responsible for the approach roads, pedestrian underpasses, and related infrastructure. The delay has pushed the project's original August 15 deadline by nearly one-and-a-half months, with the final opening expected to take place by the end of September.
