The foot overbridge connecting Bhau Daji Road to Matunga West near King’s Circle, an age-old yet crucial connector, has fallen into a state of disrepair. Widely used by schoolchildren and senior citizens, the bridge has become a safety hazard.

“The staircases are uneven and in poor condition, making the bridge feel too steep. Negotiating the steps and broken railings is a challenge. The bridge needs a replacement or at least an upgrade. We have been complaining, but no action has been taken,” said senior citizen Shalini Tripathi.
