A crucial connector of Mumbai's eastern and western suburbs, the Mahim-Sion Link Road bridge, is in need of urgent repairs. With the bridge being on the list for reconstruction, the civic body and the railways are installing supporting pillars to strengthen the beams for the time being.

With its reconstruction delayed for various reasons, in a proactive step, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and railways are giving additional strength to the dilapidated bridge located near Mahim railway station. This, without causing any traffic woes. The work began in November and nine iron pillars have been built under the bridge.
