Barely a year after mid-day highlighted BMC’s shoddy construction of a new foot overbridge outside Marine Lines station, this monsoon season has once again revealed the shabby repair work undertaken by the municipal body.

In August last year, this newspaper had reported how tiles on a newly-constructed bridge were coming undone, with the broken pieces posing a risk to commuters. Soon after, the bridges department had initiated repair work. However, on Saturday, broken and cracked tiles resurfaced on the same spot of the bridge. Walking through this stretch in the night can be dangerous—commuters are at risk of tripping and falling, as there are no lights on the bridge.
