The rebuilding of Bridge No 20 is essential for passenger safety and the strength of the railway structure. The south abutment, which had weakened over time owing to outdated technology, has now been reconstructed using modern methods and structural designs

The second phase of the project, which involves dismantling the old, unserviceable abutment, rebuilding it, and laying tracks on the newly installed girders, is scheduled for completion in May.
The Western Railway (WR) has successfully completed the first phase of the rebuilding of Bridge No 20 on the Mithi River, located between Mahim and Bandra stations.
On the intervening nights of January 24/25 and 25/26, WR took major blocks of nine-and-a-half hours each to rebuild the south abutment of the bridge.
