Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) is planning a two-phase Rs.325 crore programme to construct 17 skywalks and a 500 meter subway along GPO road, from CST to P D'Mello Road.

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has contracted this work to MSRDC. Mumbai's first Bandra (E) to Kalanagar skywalk, which is almost partially completed, is being extended up to Kherwadi junction. The Kherwadi link will be 800 m long and will cost another Rs.10 crore. The Kherwadi extension of the Bandra skywalk will start from Anant Kanekar Marg police post and will be completed by October 2008.

The width of 17 skywalks will vary from 3 meters to 4.50 meters and will have steel railings, powerful lighting, polycarbonate sheds, sitting arrangements, escalators, landscaping, garbage bins, shops, and toilets. The construction of all the 17 skywalk projects , including the longest ones at Masjid and between CST and Churchgate will be completed by June 2009.
