PWD plans to develop FOB at Turbhe on Sion-Panvel Highway

From next year, the residents of Turbhe will not have to cross the busy Sion-Panvel highway risking their lives as the state Public Works Department (PWD) has planned to develop a foot over bridge (FOB) in the area.

Over the past three months, the PWD conducted multiple surveys in that area and also prepared a detailed project report (DPR) of the proposed FOB.

A senior officer from PWD said, “The local residents of Turbhe have long been demanding a FOB to cross the highway there. Due to the lack of such an infrastructure, now they have to cross the busy highway risking their lives. Quite a few people met with accidents while crossing the road like that in the past. Therefore, taking the gravity of the issue into consideration, we are planning to develop a FOB across the highway.”
