After much back and forth and doubt, the Mumbai Traffic police is set to take a final call on the closing of the bridge on Hans Bhugra Marg in Vakola. According to sources, cops are planning to shut the bridge's lane used to travel from Kalina to Western Express Highway (WEH) and divert the traffic to Nehru Road and Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).

According to traffic police, the lane to be closed was built in the British Era. "The bridge is a combination of two separate sections built over pipelines. The newer one was built by the MMRDA," said a source. "The British Era bridge is dilapidated and needs to be demolished immediately. The other isn't. We do not have any other alternative. The older lane will be closed soon," the source added.
