Mogra nullah bridge in Andheri West closed till May 2027
The Story in Brief
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced the complete closure of the Mogra nullah bridge in Andheri West to all vehicular traffic until May 2027, when reconstruction is expected to be completed. The bridge, which connects Sab TV Road to Link Road, has been declared dilapidated by officials.
The traffic police have issued alternative routes for motorists during the closure. Light vehicles coming from Lokhandwala Complex Road on the south-bound carriageway of Sab TV Road must turn left at Pramod Navalkar Marg, then right at Hotel Empire, and proceed via Hotel Kalinga and New Link Road. Those on the north-bound carriageway of New Link Road must turn left at Hotel Kalinga, then left or right at Hotel Empire, and continue via Lokhandwala Complex Road.
The BMC will demolish and reconstruct the bridge over the next seven months.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The closure of a key connector in Andheri West will disrupt daily commutes for thousands of residents and office-goers who rely on the Sab TV Road-Link Road link. The BMC has not announced any temporary bridge or diversion, leaving motorists with a longer detour via Lokhandwala Complex Road. The reconstruction timeline of May 2027 is ambitious for a nullah bridge, any delay will extend the inconvenience without a public fallback plan.
