The FOB is a crucial link for thousands of office-goers in Mumbai’s Parel
The Western Railway (WR) end of the FOB was opened a few years ago, followed by an extension across all WR lines
But the Central Railway (CR) portion had remained incomplete until recently, leaving the WR section underutilised
The access is currently restricted to railway commuters
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) Member of Parliament from Shiv Sena (UBT), Arvind Sawant's hoarding has been placed at the FOB to announce the opening of the bridge. The hoarding highlighted the timely inauguration coinciding with the start of the festive Navratri season
