Western Railway to replace historic screw-pile bridge over Mithi river

Western Railway has begun reconstructing the bridge over the Mithi River between Bandra and Mahim, replacing the 135-year-old screw-pile foundation with a reinforced cement concrete structure. The change follows a directive to phase out such structures for safety reasons, leading to a temporary suspension of train services.
