Four years after it was shut down, the BMC has proposed a pricey plan to reconstruct the Bandra skywalk on the east side of the railway station. Last year, the contract was awarded at Rs 19 crore. 

However, as per the latest tender, the estimated cost has escalated almost four times to Rs 83 crore, excluding an 18 per cent GST. A BMC official attributed the cost increase to the larger dimensions of the skywalk, including its length, width, and the addition of three escalators.
