Commuters were in for another shock on the east side of Bandra station on Wednesday, when they saw the rest of the skywalk was shut. A section of the skywalk is already shut due to MSRDC's bridge construction, now the part from the station to Bandra court has also been shut. Lakhs of people use the skywalk, but the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) decided to shut this section too, as the pillars are heavily rusted. However, when BMC officials were asked when it would be reopened, they did not have answers.

The civic administration has been shutting the bridges in the city after the CSMT foot over bridge collapsed, killing seven and injuring 31 others. The BMC had audited bridges and after checking the structural stability of the skywalk, officials decided to shut it until it is repaired or reconstructed. The bridge will now be assessed either by VJTI or IIT-Bombay experts and then its fate will be decided.
