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.
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.
“In the interest of passenger safety, the replacement work is essential. 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, and 20 meters of corroded supporting beams have been replaced. The laying of chequered plates is currently in progress,” a spokesperson said.
