Pedestrians navigating the hectic Lucky Hotel junction on their way to Bandra West station have reason to cheer. The MMRDA, which had earlier demolished the existing skywalk to facilitate work on Metro Line 2B, is now set to build a 278-metre-long foot overbridge (FOB). The new FOB will seamlessly connect the Bandra Metro station on Line 2B with Bandra railway station (West) at an estimated cost of Rs 41 crore.

According to the tender document, the MMRDA has invited bids for the construction of a foot overbridge (FOB) connecting the Bandra Metro Station on Metro Line 2B with Bandra Suburban Railway Station. The proposed FOB will be 278 metres long and will link the Metro station to the west side of Bandra railway station at an estimated cost of Rs 41.44 crore. The successful bidder will be required to complete the project within 18 months. Earlier, a skywalk connected Bandra West Railway Station to the Lucky Hotel junction on SV Road. However, it was dismantled a few years ago to facilitate the construction of Metro Line 2B.
