After a year of reopening it, the BMC floated a tender of demolition and reconstruction of the Oshiwara bridge that had been closed for traffic between June 2019 to August 2019 after being declared unsafe for traffic. According to the BMC, the 40-year-old bridge will take one-and half-years to reconstruct with an estimated cost of Rs 18.50 crore.

The BMC conducted a re-audit of the city's bridges after the Himalaya Bridge collapsed near CSMT station in March 2019, and on the basis of the report, shut down many bridges across the city, including the Oshiwara bridge on S V Road at Goregaon and Jogeshwari. This bridge is crucial for north-south bound traffic movement. The corporation completed repair work and, after a report by IIT Bombay and VJTI, it was opened for vehicular traffic on August 28, 2019.
