Central Railway (CR) has decided to disallow vehicles from plying the Sion rail overbridge from February 28. The bridge was to be shut on January 19, but the move was postponed after MP Rahul Shewale intervened and asked railway officials to first discuss the possible inconvenience faced by locals with the state government authorities. 

Railway authorities decided to pull down the 110-year-old structure, which connects Sion East and West, to make way for the fifth and sixth railway lines.
