The Bandra-Worli sealink will be partly shut for two days for laying asphalt on the road.

On Monday, south-bound lane (from Bandra to Worli) will be shut between 10 pm and 6 am. On Tuesday north-bound lane (Worli to Bandra) will be shut between 10 pm and 6 am.

Mumbai Entry Points Limited, the contractor assigned with the responsibility of maintaining the bridge, will be laying the asphalt on all eight lanes of the sealink. According to officials, the asphalt on the bridge hasn’t been changed since the bridge was opened for public in 2009.

The new layer of asphalt is expected to last three years.

Commuters who travel via the sealink, can opt for the Mahim-Prabhadevi road during the block time.
