The infra, which provided seamless east-west connectivity in Andheri, was shut for public on November 7, 2022 after being declared unsafe.

The railway authorities are currently demolishing the bridge, which might take three months. The work will be carried in four phases. Meanwhile, the BMC has issued the work order and the reconstruction of the new bridge has already started at the workshop. The civic body aims to reopen one arm of the new bridge for traffic by May 2023, which now depends on the status of demolition work.
