Lokhandwala Residents Demand Audit Over Damaged Mogra Nullah Bridge Walls

The damaged and deteriorating side protection walls of the Mogra nullah bridge in Lokhandwala, Mumbai, have sparked fresh safety concerns among local residents. On June 29, 2026, community members voiced their anxieties regarding the current state of the infrastructure, demanding that a new structural and safety audit be conducted to prevent potential accidents on the crossing.

These safety fears have escalated just days after residents' initial concerns were highlighted regarding the reopening of the bridge across the Mogra nullah. Following the bridge's reopening to public traffic, residents quickly identified new, deteriorating issues with the structure's side walls, which appear to have worsened.

Specifically, residents pointed out that there are now damaged and missing portions of the side protection wall on the Mogra nullah bridge. These visible gaps and weak points in the protective barrier have led to growing alarm among those who use the bridge.

The deteriorating walls pose a severe safety risk to motorists traveling through the Lokhandwala area. Local residents have expressed deep fears that if a vehicle were to crash into the side of the bridge, the damaged protection walls would fail to contain it. This has raised the alarming possibility of a crashing vehicle plunging directly into the Mogra nullah below.

In response to these hazards, the residents of Lokhandwala are demanding a comprehensive and fresh structural and safety audit of the bridge. The community is calling for immediate action to assess the structural integrity of the bridge and to repair the damaged and missing side protection walls to ensure the safety of all motorists who rely on the crossing.
