Mumbai, September 3, 2026: The Sion Railway Over Bridge (ROB) reconstruction is nearing completion, with officials projecting an opening date of September 30. Central Railway (CR) has finished building the deck-slab on both girders, while work on crash barriers and concrete wearing coats is currently underway. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is concurrently accelerating the reconstruction of the LBS Marg–Sant Rohidas Marg approach road in Dharavi.
Bridge Closure and Demolition To minimize disruption to residents, the ROB was shut down for traffic on August 1, 2024, after a two-phase demolition. The northern section was removed first, followed by the southern section, which remained accessible for pedestrians. According to a senior BMC Bridges Department official, deck-slab concreting on the new girders is complete, along with the installation of crash barriers and the concrete wearing coat.
Additionally, the new pedestrian bridge is operational, and demolition of the old bridge's remaining portion is now finished.
