Mumbai’s century-old Sion Bridge, a prominent landmark of the city, will be demolished and reconstructed. The decision comes in the wake of recent bridge collapse incidents in India, prompting authorities to prioritize safety. The bridge will be closed for traffic for three years, starting August 1, 2024, while a new modern bridge is built. The Central Railway, in collaboration with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), will oversee the reconstruction project.
