Broken tiles that can injure commuters, missing tiles and pieces that have simply popped up on the surface—this is the state of a pair of 2-month-old foot overbridges at Marine Line station. Another bridge that came up last year at Charni Road station looks no different. As they face inconvenience daily, commuters have slammed the authorities over the shoddy work. All three overpasses were reconstructed after the Himalaya bridge collapsed at CST in March 2019.

Two foot overbridges (FOBs) at Marine Lines, one at the north end and the other connecting Chandanwadi crematorium, were among eight bridges that were declared dangerous for rail commuters after the Himalaya incident. Thousands of people passengers would use the FOBs to cross the busy road outside Marine Lines. The crematorium lane connects with commercial areas like Dawa Bazar, Bhuleshwar and Kalbadevi.
