A connector-bridge linking two roads in Andheri West behind Citi Mall has been a shambles for two years. Our report quoted a number of locals who said the old connector, which is 30-m long and used by vehicles and pedestrians, was demolished for repairs two years ago. It has been two years of near status quo and status woe for all those who have to access the area, as it is a mix of commercial and residential buildings.

Our recent report also described how a visit to the area and crossing over using a makeshift connector was dangerous. The makeshift connector with metal sheets, pipes and cables was a test of balance. A slip or slight misstep meant a fall into a ditch, which may result in broken limbs, or a lesser injury, but injury nevertheless.
