The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority is all set to demolish three skywalks on S V Road at Bandra, Santacruz and Vile Parle to make way for the Metro line II-B. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) approved the proposal last month, but neither MMRDA nor the BMC has any alternative plan for pedestrians who use the skywalks regularly.

Portions of the skywalks on the 28-metre wide S V road will be permanently demolished to make way for the Metro 2B line, the MMRDA stated. While 563 metres of the skywalk will be demolished at Bandra, 23 metres will be demolished at Santacruz and 28.5 metres at Vile Parle, an MMRDA official said. "The demolition of the skywalks will be done in coordination with the Traffic Police and BMC officials. The time schedule is yet to be finalised. Appropriate boards will be displayed before demolition," said the MMRDA spokesperson.
