If your office is at Lower Parel, Currey Road, Chinchpokli, Worli or any other area in central Mumbai, prepare to face long commutes to work this new year. The MMRDA is planning to shut down the arterial Currey Road bridge by the end of December to allow the construction of the Jacob Circle-Wadala monorail phase.

For an estimated period of two months, motorists will have to use alternative routes, as the bridge will remain closed to all vehicles. Even more concerning is the fact that ambulances going towards KEM and TATA hospitals will also have to use alternate routes via Chinchpokli bridge and Elphistone road over bridge (ROB).
