Traffic Improvement Measures
The BMC has undertaken construction of flyover between Bandra and Dharavi, the flyover over the nullah between E. Moses Road and Dr. Annie Besant Road in Worli, and the skywalk in Bandra. After the completion of the first phase of the Bandra to Dharavi bridge, two lanes of the south side will be opened to traffic.
These new lanes will provide direct access to the flyover leading towards Mahim Causeway, improving traffic flow and reducing congestion. The work order for the second phase of the bridge is expected to be issued soon, with a targeted completion timeline of 18 months.
Worli Traffic Connectivity
The another important bridge over the nullah between E. Moses Road and Dr. Annie Besant Road in Worli will directly connect these two major roads, creating a new traffic link. Once completed, it is expected to ease congestion in Worli Naka, Mahalaxmi, and Lower Parel, offering citizens a smoother, faster, and safer commute.
Currently, 30% of the construction is complete, with a target completion date of December 2026.
