The Juhu Tara Road bridge, which has been closed for two months, is finally going to reopen on Thursday for light vehicles. The Oshiwara bridge reopened on Wednesday. The Juhu bridge was shut for vehicular traffic from Gazadharbandh junction to Juhu beach since June 3, after being declared dilapidated. The repair work is complete and a height barrier is also nearing installation to bar heavy vehicles.

The 28-metre-wide bridge is crucial for traffic movement from Juhu to Bandra and provides the only access to Juhu beach. Following a re-audit of the bridges, the bridge was declared unsafe for traffic and the civic body closed it along with several other bridges across the city. The traffic police diverted vehicles to S V Road and Vaikunthlal Mehta Marg at Vile Parle; SNDT college also allowed traffic from the internal road.
