A crucial bridge linking the Eastern Express Highway (EEH) with the arterial LBS Road, the Ghatkopar-Andheri Link Road that passes over all six Central Railway (CR) tracks, has been fortified with additional beams after a 2018 audit revealed dangerous cracks in it.

The columns of the bridge have been strengthened and secured with additional beams. The bridge is safe now. An interim audit with the help of IIT-Bombay was done in July 2018. The VJTI (Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute) had also conducted a detailed structural audit. No portion of the bridge is unsafe," CR's chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said.
