The recent foot overbridge and bridge collapse incidents in the city have sent alarm bells ringing in the administration. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) for instance, does not want to take any chances, and will fix the cracks that have developed in the Nitin Company-Cadbury junction flyover in Thane over the next few months. Officials told mid-day that there is no threat to the structure of the bridge, but added that they are wasting no time to ensure the cracks are repaired.

MSRDC Chief Engineer Anilkumar Gaikwad said, "IIT-Bombay had carried out a structural audit of the flyover and submitted a report along with some recommendations. It states that there are cracks in some places. These will be repaired in the coming months."
