Elphinstone Bridge Replacement: Modern Double-Decker Structure Planned
Imagine a new bridge being built to help people get around Mumbai!
The old bridge is being taken down and a new one will be built that is double the size!
The new bridge will have two levels.
One level will have roads going from two places and another will connect to a bridge.
The new bridge will replace an old one.
It is meant to make travel easier.
The project will take about 18 months and will cost about 167 crore rupees.
This will allow vehicles to travel easily.
This should hopefully make traveling around easier.
The Elphinstone Road Over Bridge (ROB) is being replaced.
The new structure is a double-decker bridge.
The first level will connect Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road and Senapati Bapat Road.
The second level will connect Atal Setu to Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
Demolition of the old bridge began on September 12 and is estimated to take 18 months to complete.
