India, Sept. 10 -- The closure of the Elphinstone road overbridge for vehicular traffic, which was earlier slated for Wednesday, has been postponed yet again.

The traffic police are still waiting for a green light from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to close the British-era bridge for demolition.

The date of closure was tentatively set for September 10, according to Anil Kumbhare, joint commissioner of police traffic. However, the MMRDA has not yet intimated the traffic police to go ahead with the closure, he added.

The bridge, constructed over a century ago, is supposed to be replaced by a double-decker bridge that will be a part of the Sewri-Worli elevated connector.
