Urban experts worried that the closure of several connectors in the island city will lead to chaos when the trans-harbour link brings in up to 70,000 new vehicles when it opens in December

With key south Mumbai bridges either shut for repairs or partially open, and the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL) set to open on December 25, citizens and activists fear that there be chaos on existing roads as there will be a huge influx of vehicles from the MTHL onto the city’s internal roads. The BMC, however, has said that the Delisle Road bridge at Lower Parel will be opened this week and other city bridges are being worked upon.
