One arm of the Delisle Road bridge in Lower Parel—which was being built for nearly five years—was finally opened to traffic on Thursday. Another arm, towards Currey Road, will be opened by the end of July. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), however, is yet to start building footpaths for pedestrians on the bridge.
 
After overshooting three deadlines, the arm of the bridge from Senapati Bapat Marg junction to Ganpatrao Kadam Marg towards Parel is now open. Pedestrians, however, are not happy as there are no footpaths on the structure yet. Many motorists also termed the opening of the arm pointless.
