The bridges in south Mumbai will undergo two audits in a year, one before and another after the monsoon, the civic body said. The BMC will spend about R5.5 crore on structural audits of around 98 bridges, including foot overbridges (FOBs), road overbridges (ROBs), flyovers, subways and skywalks.

The BMC had conducted structural audits of bridges after an old one over Savitri river in Mahad, Raigad district, collapsed in 2016. A re-audit of all the 344 bridges in the city was ordered after a portion of the Himalaya Bridge in CSTM came crashing down in March 2019, killing six people and injuring over 30.
