For decades, the Sion Road Over-Bridge served as a crucial link across Central Railway tracks, connecting neighbourhoods and carrying thousands of commuters daily

The Rs 50-crore redevelopment, being executed jointly by the BMC and Central Railway, has seen large sections of the old bridge dismantled to make way for a modern replacement

Engineers and workers continue round-the-clock efforts at the site, where the new bridge is taking shape above one of Mumbai's busiest railway corridors

Once completed, the rebuilt Sion ROB will be widened to four lanes and equipped with a public underpass, enhancing connectivity for both motorists and pedestrians

As construction enters its final phase, authorities are aiming to reopen the upgraded bridge to vehicular traffic by August 15, 2026, restoring a key transport link for Mumbai.
