The MSRDC has planned to secure the U-bridge along the Bandra Reclamation with wire ropes to prevent riders caught in accidents from falling off the 30-feet overpass. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) plans to use crash barriers similar to Brifen ropes installed on accident-prone Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

An official of the MSRDC said, “We have invited tenders for providing and fixing flexible crash-barrier wire rope on the left side of the U-bridge, on Mahim interchange. We are expecting a good response from the bidders.” The contractor will have to complete the work within three months from the date of work order. The cost of the project has been estimated at Rs 15.51 lakh.
