The demolition of the over 100-year-old British-era Elphinstone Road overbridge (ROB), which connects Parel and Prabhadevi, began on September 12. The bridge’s closure has severely impacted traffic flow across Lower Parel and Currey Road, causing long traffic jams and heavy congestion.
Residents Complain of Noise Pollution
Residents living in buildings adjacent to Currey Road and Lower Parel bridge have complained of severe noise pollution due to continuous honking by vehicles stuck in traffic.
The situation has worsened with the constant sound of ambulance sirens, as the area houses major hospitals like KEM, Tata, and Wadia. Locals say the relentless blaring of horns and sirens throughout the day and night has made life unbearable.
