On Sunday, the road over bridge at Ghatkopar and a foot over bridge at Malad, both of which pass over railway lines, were declared dangerous, and shut for use. The railways also dismantled a foot over bridge passing over the harbour line tracks at Tilak Nagar in four hours. mid-day had reported about the Bandra-Mahim and Vasai bridges being similarly shut on July 7 in 'WR closes two bridges for structural examination.'
