The construction of the Himalaya foot overbridge outside CSMT may be completed soon and it may be thrown open to the public in March. The FOB crashed in March 2019, claiming seven lives. Work on rebuilding it was stalled for more than three years due to various reasons.

The fall of this bridge had led to the process of re-auditing of all city and suburban bridges, and closure of dilapidated ones. “The work of joining the girders is on in full swing and we are trying to complete the remaining work within a month,” said an engineer from the bridges department.
