Mumbai's long-awaited Sion Road Overbridge (ROB) remains unopened to the public, but viral videos on social media have captured pedestrians and bikers utilizing the recently renovated bridge before its official inauguration. The bridge is said to be in the final stages of construction, with entrances now barricaded by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
A video shared by Instagram content creator Isaac Nazareth shows him strolling on the newly paved bridge, announcing, "There's some exciting news for Mumbaikars," before filming the fully constructed section in use by pedestrians. Nazareth claimed the bridge might open within a week, describing it as a vital link for commuters traveling between Sion, Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), and Kurla.
He also pointed out the impact of the bridge's closure on Dharavi residents, who have faced challenges navigating the area during the reconstruction.
