Mumbai replaces the 112-year-old Elphinstone Bridge with new road overbridges aimed at easing traffic congestion. NDTV reports that the Elphinstone Bridge is being taken out and replaced as part of a broader plan to add additional overbridge capacity in the city.
The project is described as including four road overbridges covering routes that connect areas such as Dadar and Ghatkopar. NDTV also says the replacement will feature Mumbai’s first double-decker road overbridge. The outlets frame the works primarily as infrastructure upgrades designed to improve traffic flow, rather than as a change in transit policy or enforcement.
Across the coverage, the main difference is the emphasis: one account highlights the bridge replacement itself, while the other focuses more on the overall set of overbridges and the corridors they serve. Both describe the same core initiative—replacing the old Elphinstone Bridge and adding new overbridge infrastructure.
