Mumbai's Aarey Metro Foot Overbridge Opens to Public After 18-Month Delay
After an 18-month delay, the pedestrian foot overbridge (FOB) connecting Mumbai's Aarey Metro Station on Line 7 to Oberoi Garden City has opened for public use. The bridge, built by Oberoi Realty, provides a safer, direct crossing over the Western Express Highway. Local MLAs Ravindra Waikar and Anant Bala Nar played key roles in addressing safety concerns and administrative delays, including pending fire clearances and incomplete staircases. The developer agreed to public access following official interventions and meetings.
