A foot overbridge (FOB) outside Marine Lines station has broken and cracked tiles, though they had been repaired some time ago. Walking through this stretch at night can be dangerous; commuters are at risk of tripping and falling, as there are no lights on the bridge.

This particular FOB, situated at the north end, and another connecting Chandanwadi crematorium, were among eight bridges that were declared dangerous after the Himalaya bridge near CSMT collapsed in 2019. After reopening the bridges in the wake of repairs, tiles started cracking and popping out. Even tiles on staircases were found to be broken.
