The structural audit of 296 bridges in Mumbai by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), has revealed that 18 bridges, including eight FOBs (foot over bridges), need to be demolished urgently, as they are dilapidated. The audit report has also highlighted that 48 bridges need urgent repair.

According to civic officials, the 18 bridges are in danger of collapsing at any moment. Action will soon be taken on this. The BMC did structural audits of bridges after the Gokhale bridge in Andheri East collapsed, killing two people.
