The traffic police did not shut the Elphinstone Road Overbridge as previously announced for Thursday but said a decision on its closure would be taken sometime next week.

Officials said the final decision would be made after considering the suggestions and objections received from citizens. Pradeep Chavan, deputy commissioner of police (Traffic), who also holds the additional charge of additional police commissioner (Traffic), had issued a draft notification regarding the bridge closure and related diversions on April 8.
