With Western Railway opening access from the 12-metre-wide Churchgate-end foot overbridge (FOB) to the newly built Bandra East skywalk, commuters will soon get direct connectivity from the station to the east side. Unlike the Bellasis Road bridge connector, the WR link here is ready even before the skywalk is formally opened. The BMC-built skywalk crosses the entire station road, spans the highway, and lands at Kala Nagar junction.

Awaits launch

The WR officials confirmed that the access has been opened but is currently barricaded, pending the BMC’s formal commissioning of the skywalk. The deadline for completion was December 31, and while most of the work is complete, a few finishing touches are still pending.
