There are several takeaways from our report about the traffic police not shutting the Elphinstone Road Overbridge as previously announced. A decision on its closure will be made sometime next week.
Officials said the final decision would be made after considering the suggestions and objections received from citizens. A senior official said that they have published a draft regarding diversions. This is the first time a draft has been published inviting suggestions and objections from the public before closing a bridge. Citizens can send in their inputs until April 13. Suggestions and objections can be emailed to addlcp.traffic@mahapolice.gov.in.
