The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC's) plan for constructing a cable-stayed bridge at Mahalaxmi station, to create an alternative for traffic and start repairs on the existing one, has hit a hurdle. The Western Railway (WR) has denied permission for one arm of the bridge as it passes over a railway sub-station on Dr E Moses Road side.
