Mumbai’s skyline is set to welcome another engineering marvel — a double-deck Elphinstone bridge that will replace the 112-year-old structure linking Prabhadevi and Parel. Designed and executed by the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC), the new bridge will become one of the city’s rare multi-level road corridors — after the double-deck section on the Santacruz–Chembur Link Road (SCLR) near Kurla LTT Terminus.

Instead of the current 13-metre wide, MMRDA has planned a 17-metre wide, 132-metre long double-decker bridge. The lower deck will have 4 lanes (two for either side of traffic) and pedestrian paths and the top deck will feature four lanes leading directly into the Sewri-Worli Connector

At Sewri-end where the bridge connects to the Atal Setu, it passes over Sewri railway station and the Eastern Freeway at a height of 21m, making it one of the highest road over bridges in the city

The bridge will feature two distinct levels — the lower deck will cater to regular east-west local traffic with two lanes on each side and pedestrian footpaths, while the upper deck will form part of the larger Sewri–Worli Elevated Connector, linking directly to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the upcoming coastal and eastern freeway corridors

The bridge is a part of the Sewri-Worli elevated connector being built by the MMRDA between the Atal Setu and the Coastal Road. The upcoming structure will carry both local and long-distance traffic across the Central and Western Railway lines, significantly decongesting one of Mumbai’s busiest east–west corridors
