After Andheri Bridge Collapse, Cracks Appear On Another As Heavy Rain Batters Mumbai

On July 3, Andheri railway bridge collapse exposed the poor maintenance of railway footbridges in Mumbai. It injured a woman severely, who later died in the hospital. Within a week, another bridge in Ghatkopar station had to be closed after cracks were found.

A day after the Andheri bridge collapse, the bridge on Grant Road was closed after cracks were noticed. It was opened later after inspection.

“This bridge is 40-50 years old and the condition of the bridge has been like this for the last four to five years,” residents in Ghatkopar told NDTV.
