Pedestrians using the Western Urban Road will no longer have to risk their lives crossing the busy highway near Mahanand Dairy in Goregaon East as a new foot overbridge (FOB) at the site is expected to be thrown open to public by next month. Work on the bridge, which has been pending for the last two years, has finally gathered steam. The bridge, which cost the BMC around R2 crore, will be ready in the next three to four weeks.
