With the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) speeding up the construction work of the skywalk at Jogeshwari, the station integration plan also seems to be moving ahead. Started about five years ago, work on the skywalk is expected to be completed by December.

Local MLA Ravindra Waikar said that an escalator for the skywalk had also been planned and work on it was also in its final stages and would be completed soon. mid-day has been writing about the lack of escalators at the station and how it was a problem for senior citizens who often complained that the new FOBs were higher than the regular ones.
