The decision to rename the Carnac Bridge to Sindoor Flyover was made following India`s successful military strikes on terror camps in Pakistan.
The flyover will be opened for motorists at 3 pm. The structure is located near Masjid Bunder railway station and connects to P D`Mello Road, re-establishing a critical east-west connection in South Mumbai.
The new bridge replaces the 150-year-old Carnac Bridge, which was dismantled in August 2022 after being declared unsafe by Central Railway. It serves as a crucial connector between the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Masjid Bunder, and Mohammed Ali Road areas
