Residents thank BMC but say security personnel, CCTV cameras, and elevators are needed

A ground reality check of several skywalks has pointed most of all to poor visibility

Mumbai’s skywalks, built at a cost of around Rs 900 crore to improve pedestrian safety, are increasingly falling into disuse due to poor maintenance, incomplete construction and lack of security. Commuters—especially women—report unsafe conditions, including dark stretches, broken escalators and presence of anti-social elements

Residents welcome the civic body’s move but say roofless stretch still needs cover for safe use in summer and monsoon

The Santacruz skywalk has been without a roof for months, forcing pedestrians to endure scorching heat during their commute, while repeated requests to the BMC for repairs have seen little action, leaving residents frustrated

At least six light fixtures on the 1.2-km-long Vakola skywalk are dangling or loosely attached, raising safety concerns among residents. Despite inspections by the H East ward, locals say no repairs have begun on the SV Road–Kalina connector

While pedestrian ease is key in a traffic-choked city, people must take the skywalk rather than hunting for shortcuts through traffic snarls.

The skywalk has been constructed to help people commuting between Bandra Court, Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), MHADA office and the District Collector’s office, officials said
