The BMC and Western Railway have jointly decided to open Delisle bridge only for pedestrians. The Lower Parel bridge had been shut after a portion of it was found to have corroded. Civic chief Ajoy Mehta had directed all the stake holders to carry out a joint inspection and explore the possibility of throwing it open for pedestrians and light vehicles.

While light vehicle movement has been ruled out, pedestrians now get back their approach road to Lower Parel station. It will be opened today. Officials of the railways and the BMC's Bridge Department inspected the bridge and were convinced that there was no problem for pedestrians to use it.
