No heavy vehicles on Sion ROB

The 112-year-old Sion road overbridge (ROB), a key connector between Dharavi, Lal Bahadur Shashtri Marg (LBS) and the Eastern Express Highway, will shut for heavy vehicles and automobiles towering above 2.8 metres from today (June 29) till July 13. The rule applies to both the bounds.

The decision announced by the Mumbai traffic police comes after several delays in fixing dates for closing the Sion ROB, which was set for demolition after being labelled unsafe by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in April 2020.
