As of July 3, 2025, there are no new developments regarding the extension or enhancement of the ageing Borivali bridge. The bridge, which connects Shrikrishna Nagar in Borivali East to the Western Express Highway, has been a subject of concern due to its deteriorating condition. In 2021, a portion of the bridge collapsed, leading to its closure. While the first half of the bridge was reconstructed and inaugurated in March 2023, the second part remains incomplete. The delay has been attributed to bureaucratic hurdles, including the need for a no-objection certificate from the Forest Department, which has been pending due to procedural issues within the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) .

Currently, there are no official announcements or reports indicating that work is underway to extend the lifespan of the Borivali bridge. Commuters continue to face challenges due to the bridge’s incomplete status, and the lack of progress on its reconstruction remains a significant concern for local residents and travelers.
