New foot overbridge connects Borivli Metro station, mall

A new foot overbridge (FOB) has opened at Devipada Metro station in Borivli East, connecting the station directly to SkyCity Mall. This bridge allows pedestrians to avoid traffic outside and enhances access to the mall. The FOB was funded by Oberoi Realty under a public-private partnership. Similar infrastructure is being encouraged by MMRDA to improve connectivity between Metro stations and commercial areas, with proposals for additional FOBs and subways in the works. Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation plans to construct station-linked subways at various locations, funded by private developers. These subways will feature escalators and elevators for easy access and will be designed for public use during emergencies.
