The Mumbai Traffic Police has imposed restrictions on the regular traffic movement on some roads in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area as the construction of the bullet train is about to commence. As the construction of the underground railway station of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Railway (HSR) project is going to take place, the road was shut from Tuesday, September 13 to June 20, 2024.
The Mumbai Traffic Police closed the two roads between the Diamond Bourse Junction to JSW Centre and Platina Building Junction to Motilal Nehru Nagar for the next ten months. The commuters have been requested to take alternate routes.
In an official statement released by the Mumbai Traffic Police Department, the DCP (Headquarters and Central Traffic), Pradnya Jedge said that the traffic management on the routes mentioned will be shut from September 12 midnight till June 30, 2024. The decision to close the roads has been taken to prevent any mishaps or hindrances due to the construction.
According to the official circular, the routes that will be closed for the next ten months include the BKC connector that passes through Kurla's Razzak junction. It will also include the MTNL junction that goes to the diamond bourse junction that arrives after taking a left and then right turn towards the JSW office in Kherwadi, Bandra (East).
Apart from this, the road from Kherwadi that goes towards the Asian Heart Hospital and the right turn towards the diamond bourse junction to JSW and MMRDA offices is also closed. Additionally, the Razzak and MTNL Junctions and BKC Road 10 to Platina Junction are also inaccessible to commuters.
However, keeping the troubles of the commuters in mind, the authorities have also mentioned alternate routes that can be taken during this period.
The commuters who usually opt for the route from Razzak Junction in Kurla to Diamond Bourse Junction and towards Kherwadi to the JSW office can instead go for a right turn from the Asian Heart Hospital. Those who are travelling from Motilal Nehru Nagar Trade Centre towards Platina Junction can take a left and then a right towards the MTNL junction. Apart from this, commuters can now take a turn to the left at MTNL Junction instead of Razzak Junction to the Trade Centre route. The commuters, who are going to the JSW office via Kherwadi and Asian Heart Hospital, can now take a left turn from Nabard Junction, towards BKC to avoid any troubles.
