'Stampede station' Prabhadevi will get one more bridge upgrade with an extension and improved connectivity between Central Railway and Western Railway. An inspection and a review meeting of the bridges by local Member of Parliament Arvind Sawant revealed that the work is in process.

Many upgrades

Following a stampede at the station in 2017, there were a slew of upgrades including a new bridge by the Indian Army. The Indian Army built a footbridge spanning a length of 73.1 metres and a width of 3.65 metres at a cost of R10.44 crore in a record time of 117 days. This was followed by a 12-mts wide deck bridge linking Parel and the former Elphinstone stations. This was in addition to an additional platform at Parel and an extension of the Prabhadevi slow train station into 15-car platform. The new deck bridge with escalators, elevators and linked sides of both stations has been used extensively by commuters.
