Four foot overbridges at Masjid and Matunga stations will be closed due to safety concerns. Structural audits conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology found these bridges to be unsafe for pedestrian traffic. The closure is set to take place ahead of the 12-day Ganpati festival, a time when passenger and pedestrian movement is expected to increase significantly.
The decision to close the bridges was made after the audits recommended their immediate closure. The Central Railway will be implementing this closure to ensure safety.
Further details about the closure and the structural audits are available from the source.
