Western Railway Begins Expansion of Prabhadevi FOB to Ease Passenger Congestion
Western Railway has started widening the narrow entry and exit on the western side of the South Foot Over Bridge (FOB) at Prabhadevi station to reduce passenger congestion. The adjacent toilet block was demolished after BMC approval, and a new staircase is under construction with steel components fabricated at Dadar Workshop. Western Railway and BMC are coordinating on additional toilet facilities and a phased plan, including a proposed 12-metre-wide FOB with staircases and lifts, to improve pedestrian movement following increased congestion after the CaroL ROB dismantling.
