Pedestrians between Mahim (E) and Dharavi may have to wait a while before they can take the high road to beat the traffic, after Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has decided to decrease the length of a skywalk due to unavailability of funds. The skywalk was initially proposed to be 2 km long, connecting Mahim (E) to Dharavi T-Junction.

Confirming the same, MHADA Vice President Satish Gavai said, “We have now decided to construct a 1.5-km skywalk between Mahim (E) station and 90 feet road in Dharavi to solve the pedestrian issue. The skywalk was originally supposed to be 2 km long, but now we have to reduce the length of the skywalk as we have limited funds available with us.”
