With ambitious plans for Mumbai's first cable-stayed bridge over railway lines at Byculla, a deal was finalised on Tuesday evening to reconstruct 11 British-era road overbridges (ROB) in the city and suburbs between the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (MRIDC) and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)."

The MRIDC has to construct the 11 ROBs and a road under bridge (RUB), that is, a road going under the railway lines. To start with, the MRIDC has decided to reconstruct the Byculla ROB, located between Byculla and Sandhurst Road railway station. It is a British Era bridge built in 1922.
