Mumbaiites, brace for rain chaos as BMC plans to shut 20 bridges
The city is likely to face heavy traffic and chaos in the monsoon, as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to shut 20 dilapidated bridges.
Under fire after the collapse of CSMT foot overbridge (FOB), the BMC re-audited bridges in the city and found 29 to be dangerous. Eight of them have been demolished. Out of the 21 bridges, 10 are closed or partly closed and 11 are still in use, in the absence of alternatives. One of them, a bridge in Ghatkopar, was shut on Friday. Of the 21, 18 are in the western suburbs and three in the eastern suburbs.
