The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is looking for an alternative for Tilak and Elphinstone bridges. With the Elphinstone bridge likely to be razed down for the upcoming Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), and with the recent incident on Tilak bridge where a footpath developed cracks, the civic body has decided to look for new options.

They have appointed a consultant to check the feasibility for a new bridge that can be constructed from Senapati Bapat Marg near to Ruparel College till Ruia College junction going over Western Railway (WR), Central Railway (CR) and the Central Railway yard. However, as the new bridge will pass over railway tracks, the BMC will need permission for carrying out a survey for the feasibility of the project.
