Despite the massive cost involved, civic body says it will rebuild the Bandra skywalk but without a second arm. The city's first skywalk was closed a year-and-a-half ago after it was deemed unsafe for pedestrians. Amid differences of opinion and huge reconstruction cost, the civic body aims to build only one arm which will land just before the Western Express Highway in Bandra East.

A structural audit report of the skywalk — built in 2008 by the MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority) — by Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) experts was submitted on January 20, 2020.
