Much to the relief of motorists travelling to and from South Mumbai, one side of the busy Pedder Road will reopen, very likely from today. The road was closed to vehicular traffic after the August 5 landslide at Malabar Hill.

A section of N S Patkar Road connecting to Pedder Road Bridge will be reopened. Civic officials said work is underway to barricade the remaining section of the road, which is expected to be completed by Tuesday morning. About 800-metre-long stretch remained to be barricaded on Monday.
