The traffic police had earlier announced the temporary closure of Sir Bhalchandra Marg in Dadar East for the Elphinstone Bridge reconstruction by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
A traffic police notification said that the closure of the route has been put in place to ease traffic congestion and ensure that emergency vehicles can enter and exit the area without obstruction. The road between Pritam Hotel and European Bungalow will remain completely closed to all vehicles during the construction period.
A detailed traffic notification was then issued by the police which had also arranged alternate routes for the motorists to avoid congestion in the area.
