The Mumbai traffic police have announced that the iconic Elphinstone Bridge will be closed to traffic starting September 10, as part of a major redevelopment project.

Anil Kumbhare, Joint Commissioner of Traffic, informed mid-day, “A notice regarding the closure was issued back in April this year, and it remains valid. Now it is up to the MMRDA to take necessary measures for the rehabilitation of affected areas and commuters. We will begin the closure as planned on September 10.”
