BMC announces direct road from Bandra station to WEH
  • Direct road connecting Bandra station with WEH included in 1991-2011 and 2014-2034 DP; new road expected to be game-changer

"The BMC should have already been working on it. It is an established fact that it will ease connectivity as both SV Road and the Lucky Junction would be decongested," he said.

The plan was discussed at a recent meeting between civic chief Bhushan Gagrani and Bandra West MLA Ashish Shelar. The existing route involves navigating three traffic signals up to WEH, a situation that is exacerbated by the increasing volume of traffic. Shelar said that the new road will be a game-changer.
