In what will bring some relief to locals, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has almost completed work on a pedestrian bridge, alongside the upcoming new motorable Hancock bridge that is being build between Sandhurst Road and Byculla stations. It will be opened for use in the next 10 days. The new Hancock bridge is also expected to be completed by May 2021.

Locals are happy with the pedestrian bridge and claimed it will save them at least an hour's commute. A few people had also died while crossing railway tracks after the old Hancock bridge was demolished in January 2016.
