The North Foot Overbridge (FOB) at Khar Road Station will have its north staircase and west side span closed for 45 days beginning on December 16, 2023, according to a statement from the Western Railway (WR). The closure has been announced so WR can finish the deck work as part of the ongoing station improvement project, added their statement to the press.
