The pedestrian pathways of the Sindoor and Vikhroli road overbridges — which were opened on June 10 and 14, respectively — remain inaccessible, as these structures lack landing staircases. Neither bridge has end-to-end footpaths, but they have pedestrian walkways, which are fenced up as staircases are yet to be constructed. The four-lane Sindoor bridge, which stands in place of the 154-year-old Carnac bridge, spans a length of 328 metres, of which 70 metres falls within railway premises and comprises a steel open web girder. The width of the bridge is 9.5 metres. However, its pedestrian pathway is yet to be opened.

At Vikhroli, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had built a completely new bridge spanning 615 metres in length and 12 metres in width. The bridge has three vehicular lanes but does not have any dividers.
