The cost of repairs of most bridges in the city has increased yet again. The contract cost of major repairs of five road overbridges and one foot overbridge in zone one has now increased from Rs 28 crore to Rs 35 crore. The work was slated to be completed in 2020, but the deadline has now been extended to June 2022. The cost of repairing bridges in Mahalaxmi and Parel has also increased by 30 per cent, from Rs 26 crore to Rs 34 crore.

After the Savitri bridge at Mahad collapsed, the corporation had undertaken a survey of all the bridges in Mumbai. A structural audit conducted in 2018 after the collapse of the Himalaya foot overbridge at CSMT station had suggested additional measures. The cost of repairing almost every bridge had escalated thereafter.
