The Carnac bridge in south Mumbai which was in a dangerous condition will be finally rebuilt. In an official notification, the Mumbai Traffic Police said that the Carnac Bridge will be shut from Monday, August 22 for reconstruction. The notification issued on Monday further said, "Since the railways have informed that the Carnac bridge is old and needs to be rebuilt, hence the movement of the vehicular and pedestrian traffic has been stopped from August 22 until the reconstruction of the bridge."

The plans for the rebuilding of the Carnac Bunder bridge, which is reportedly over 150-year-old had been ongoing for several years. The IIT-Bombay had in its report found that the bridge was in derelict condition.
