The rebuilding of a Mulund east-west bridge, to which locals have been looking forward for more than a year, crossed a milestone early on Friday morning when girders were placed over two lines. The beams need to cross over four more lines for the work to be considered completed. Railway officials told mid-day that the new appoximately 100 metre bridge would now be completed by May 31.

Mulund residents had requested the authorities to expedite the building of a foot over bridge (FOB) across the railway station, which has been closed for over a year now. The structure was the only one that pedestrians could use to cross from the east to the west without having to buy a ticket. mid-day reported on March 29 about how the east-west bridge had been delayed.
