Less than one-third of the bridges in the city are in sound condition, as per the ongoing audit of the BMC. Of the 448 bridges across the city, 108 bridges—104 in western suburbs and 4 in city—are yet to be audited. Of the 340 bridges audited, 54 are in dilapidated condition and need reconstruction. Work has already started on half of these bridges. Civic officials urged citizens to not panic as the audit is an ongoing process and repair works will be carried out in phased-manner to avoid affecting vehicular movement.

The collapse of the Himalaya foot overbridge in CST and Gokhale FOB in Andheri highlighted the need for regular checks of bridges. Following this, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation appointed consultants to carry out annual structural audits of bridges before and after monsoon. The BMC has appointed M/s Structronics Consulting Engineers to carry out audits of bridges in the island city and eastern suburbs and M/s SCG Consultancy Services for western suburbs, for a  period of five years at a cost of R16 crore. The order was issued in April. The audit of the bridges in western suburbs is still ongoing.
