Central Railway plans January demolition of Elphinstone bridge

The Central Railway is planning to demolish a very old bridge called the Elphinstone Road Overbridge in Mumbai.

This bridge is between Parel and Prabhadevi.

They are going to do this work in January, around the 25th and 26th, because there will be fewer people traveling on those days due to the Republic Day holiday.

The demolition will take about 13 to 15 hours.

The reason they are doing this is to make way for a new road called the Sewri–Worli Elevated Connector.

This new road will help cars move more easily from the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link to the western part of the city.

The railway and a group called the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation are working together to make this happen.
