Mumbai commuters are likely to face heavy delays this week as multiple road repair and maintenance works have been initiated across the city. The Mumbai Traffic Police has issued a travel advisory urging motorists to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes wherever possible.
According to officials, the ongoing roadwork is part of an accelerated infrastructure upgrade project, covering major arterial roads and busy junctions. The affected areas include:
- Western Express Highway (WEH) – Slow movement expected near Andheri and Jogeshwari flyovers due to resurfacing work.
- Eastern Freeway – Partial closure near Wadala exit for structural maintenance.
- SV Road, Bandra – Diversions in place for drainage repair work.
- LBS Marg, Kurla – Traffic bottleneck due to utility line installation.
Peak hours are likely to see longer travel times, especially in the mornings between 8 AM to 11 AM and evenings from 5 PM to 9 PM. Emergency service vehicles have been given priority passage through restricted lanes.
The Mumbai Traffic Police has advised commuters to:
- Use the Mumbai Traffic app or Google Maps for live updates.
- Opt for public transport wherever possible to reduce congestion.
- Follow lane discipline and avoid unnecessary honking in high-density areas.
With several infrastructure projects expected to continue through the month, Mumbaikars are urged to stay updated on the latest advisories to ensure smoother travel.
