To reduce overcrowding at Prabhadevi railway station, Western Railway (WR) has opened an additional staircase on the western side of the south (Churchgate-end) foot overbridge (FOB), providing another exit and entry point at one of Mumbai’s busiest suburban railway interchanges.

The development comes at a time when the ongoing reconstruction of the Elphinstone Road overbridge, as part of the Sewri-Worli connector project, has added to the congestion around the station. With the old road bridge dismantled and its pedestrian access points cut off, commuters have been forced to use the existing railway foot overbridges, resulting in heavy crowding, particularly during peak hours.
