In a bid to reduce inconvenience to motorists, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is considering starting the reconstruction of the Parel TT bridge along with work of the Sewri-Worli Elevated Connector (SWEC) in the area, which is a project by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) Mumbai Regional Planning Authority. Although the traffic police have allowed the Parel bridge to be closed to traffic, the BMC is not going to shut it immediately.
