Looks like the traffic woes and chaos at Lower Parel won't ease anytime soon. Barely a week after Delisle Bridge was shut for public, the Central Railway (CR) now plans to shut the footpaths on Currey Road bridge as they are in a "precarious condition".

As part of its ongoing study of all bridges, the CR authorities have found that the footpaths on Currey Road bridge are in a sorry state. "The base of the footpaths on either side is in bad condition. We are working out on the details to shut down the footpath for pedestrians. However, the road will continue to be operational," said a CR official on condition of anonymity.

The footpath is narrow but it connects the main entrance of Currey Road railway station. The ROB connects Lalbaug, Bharatmata, Parel, Lower Parel and other nearby areas. The ROB is vital for people heading to Currey Road station. If the footpath is closed, people will be forced to use the two FOBs on the south end. One FOB connects the west side of the station, while the second one built by the Bombay Sappers of the Indian Army that connects the east side. Currently, the two FOBs are not used much as people walk on the main bridge.
