To avoid repeating the oversight of missing foot overbridges (FOBs) and last-mile connectivity links during the construction of the Mumbai Metro Red Line (Line-7), the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) took a proactive step on Friday by initiating the construction of multiple FOBs at four locations, connecting suburban railway stations along the Wadala-Thane Green Line-4 and 4A.

MMRDA has invited bids for the construction of FOBs at various locations across four stations, including Pant Nagar, Vikhroli, Bhandup, and Vijay Garden (Thane), with an estimated cost of Rs 129 crore. An additional Rs 8 crore will be allocated for the shifting of utilities. These bridges will enhance last-mile connectivity by linking railway stations to the existing skywalks at Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, and Bhandup.
