Mumbai's infrastructure overhaul: 7 bridges to be rebuilt
BMC is rolling out a ₹26.43 crore plan to tear down and rebuild seven unsafe bridges in Malad and Kandivali, after last year's safety checks flagged them as risky.
Five foot overbridges (FOBs) and two vehicle bridges—some already shut, others barely hanging on—are all set for a fresh start.
List of bridges to be rebuilt
The list covers FOBs near Mahalaxmi Dairy Farm, Hanuman Nagar, Gaodevi Road, Narwane Transit Camp, and Ramnagar Chawl (Bihari Tekdi), plus the Surabhi Complex and Appa Pada vehicle bridges.
Some spots are totally closed off; others are still open but only just.
Rebuild will take around 2 years
The rebuild should take about two years.
BMC says they'll work with traffic police to plan diversions and let people know alternate routes ahead of time.
The goal: safer, smoother travel for everyone in these busy neighborhoods—even if it means some detours for now.
