The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has approved a proposal of Rs 1.29 crore to erect an escalator at the Himalaya foot overbridge (FOB) located opposite Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. The escalator will be ready for use in five months. It has taken seven months for the civic body to pass the proposal after the bridge opened for pedestrians in March 2023.
According to BMC officials, the work order for the bridge was floated in May 2021, after the FOB collapsed on March 14, 2019. The original cost of the project was pegged at Rs 6.03 crore. According to the BMC document, while the work was ongoing, the railways suggested that the BMC install an escalator for the bridge.
