CR and civic body have put up a bridge closure notice for commuters at Matunga
A crucial pedestrian connector between the two Matungas on Central Railway and Western Railway, also popular as the Z Bridge, has been shut to the public since January 1 for upgrade and strengthening. The Central Railway has promised to open it within 18 months.
The bridge was last repaired in 2016. It is a crucial link between the East and West and is used by lakhs of officegoers, students and residents. “This is the closest and easiest way to go from East to West for pedestrians since it is linked to the station. The next closest link is a little ahead towards the north end where an old level crossing was located. However, that way is a bit of a detour. At the south end, the only way is through Dadar station,” V Ramakrishnan, a regular user of the Z Bridge said.
