Within days of our report on the matter, the long-awaited foot overbridge (FOB) at Kannamwar Nagar, Vikhroli, has finally been thrown open to the public. The move brought much-needed relief to hundreds of commuters and residents who had been waiting for its reopening after it was shut for repairs.
This paper had reported on June 12 how the FOB continued to stay barricaded past the June 10 deadline. The pedestrian bridge is located near Pravin Hotel, on the service road to the eastern side of Vikhroli station. It is the only connector for pedestrians wanting to cross between Tagore Nagar and Kannamwar Nagar.
