Mumbaikars travelling towards south Mumbai from the eastern suburbs and who use the eastern express highway will have to face traffic issues from the third week of April. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) will be closing down Sion flyover for repairs for two months.

According to the press release issued to the media, MSRDC has said that as part of the repair work, changing the bearings and refurbishment of expansion joints will be done. Since late Thursday night, the flyover has already been closed to heavy vehicles after the concrete portion of the outer side of the safety wall of the flyover fell on to the road below.
