Ironically, the CSMT foot overbridge, the fatal collapse of which prompted the authorities to get its act together and fix all the dilapidated bridges in the city, has not been reconstructed yet. Six people were killed when part of the Himalaya Bridge collapsed during peak hour in the evening of March 14.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) conducted re-audit of all the bridges, including foot overbridge and road overbridge, and sanctioned reconstruction or repair of the 29 structures found in dilapidated condition. While work on all these bridges is in progress, the BMC is still waiting for the traffic evaluation report.
