With the public toilet gone and trees set to be removed, the under-construction Sion road bridge faces yet another hurdle. The railways are struggling to find land on the west side for an east-west foot overbridge due to space constraints. The foot overbridge is planned at the Kalyan end of the existing road overbridge. 

“Before we completely shut pedestrian access on the bridge, we will construct an alternative 56-metre-long, 3-metre-wide foot overbridge. However, the plan is stuck as no land is available on the west side. The required 120 square metre belongs to the BMC and has been leased out. Until the land is cleared, work on the foot overbridge cannot proceed, leaving us stuck again,” a Central Railway spokesperson said.
