To ensure commuter convenience, two alternate foot overbridges located at the north end of Mahim station remain accessible, allowing passengers to move between the station and both the eastern and western sides
The Western Railway has initiated urgent repair work on the Mahim South foot overbridge, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)
The decision was made following the discovery of cracked precast RCC slabs and severely corroded, perforated supporting beams
The repair work commenced on April 16 and is expected to be completed by April 30
The bridge spans a total length of 40 meters and a width of 4 meters
So far, the damaged precast RCC slabs have been dismantled
20 meters of corroded supporting beams have been replaced
The laying of chequered plates is currently in progress
