Mumbai: Elphinstone Road bridge likely to open next week

The new Elphinstone bridge

After a long wait, Western Railway's new 12-metre bridge at Elphinstone railway station is likely to open for commuters next week. Western Railway chief public relations officer, Ravinder Bhakar, told mid-day, "The bridge is almost complete and the last stages of roofing and paint job is pending. It should be ready by early next week."

The bridge is a link between Parel and Elphinstone stations and therefore is expected to provide big relief to commuters.
