Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has written a letter to Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, saying the proposed dismantling of an old rail bridge at Khar-Bandra would lead to 'mega block for months' that could 'jeopardise' the lifeline of the Mumbai city.

The WR plans to dismantle the old rail bridge between Khar and Bandra stations and erect a new one close to it. Raut, in his letter written last week, also suggested that instead of constructing a new bridge near the same location, a new bridge should be built at Mahim, the junction of Harbour line and Western line suburban train services.
