Nearly a week after inspecting the Road Over Bridge (ROB) at Delise Road near Lower Parel station, the Western Railway (WR) and IIT have called for it to be shut down and dismantled immediately.

"After inspection on July 17, IIT Mumbai submitted a preliminary report to close this bridge immediately. This report was given to Western Railway and the BMC on July 20," said a senior WR official, adding, "It was constructed in 1921, and as per the inspection report, the cross girders of this ROB are highly corroded and need to be replaced."
