The Western Railway has successfully reconstructed and opened the Wankhede North Foot Over Bridge (FOB), enhancing pedestrian connectivity just in time for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 matches at Wankhede Stadium. The FOB, which was rebuilt in a record time of eight months, received funding from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA).

Improved Infrastructure for Smooth Access

The newly constructed FOB is now operational with two staircases—one on the east side (north-facing) and another on the west side (north-facing)—allowing smoother pedestrian movement, particularly during IPL matches. The 48-meter-long and 6.30-meter-wide bridge was rebuilt at a cost of Rs 6.50 crore. Two additional staircases (south-facing) on the east and west sides are set to be handed over to MCA by April 7, 2025. To enhance security, lighting and surveillance cameras have also been installed by MCA.
