Overview
- The BMC set a phase-wise plan: LBS Road underpass by December 2025, Dharavi-side underpass by February 2026, northern girder launch in early March and southern in early April.
- Approach roads toward Dharavi and LBS Road are slated for completion by April 15, with the eastern approach taking about 45 days and traffic opening targeted for June 1, 2026.
- Responsibility is divided, with Central Railway handling works within railway limits and the BMC executing approach roads, two pedestrian underpasses and related civil components.
- Additional Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar led a review with traffic police and railway officials, directing close inter-agency coordination to minimize commuter disruption.
- CR earlier opened a temporary foot overbridge in October 2024, and the BMC is separately moving to clear rehabilitation and legal hurdles to finish Hancock Bridge approach roads.
