A rare Mumbai connection with a county in Scotland will be severed on Saturday night with the Central Railway bringing down the hammer on one of the last few remaining foot overbridges made and imported from Lanarkshire, a historic county in the central Lowlands of Scotland.

"The old foot overbridge at Vidyavihar station will be brought down between Saturday night and Sunday morning. Work on the demolition will begin from 11.15 pm and continue till 3.15 am. A new bridge has already been built as a replacement," Central Railway chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said. Sources said that while some Lanarkshire-shipped structures continue to dot the railway line between Mumbai and Thane—the first railway section in India—the foot overbridge at Vidyavihar, whose date of construction remains unavailable, had remained one of the key relics, though it had no artistic or decorative elements, but a plain and practical design bridge.
