“The main objective of this construction is to alleviate traffic congestion at Kapadia Nagar signal and reduce travel time to the University and Santacruz by 10 to15 minutes,” tweet said, “The SCLR extension project is currently 92% complete, and one of the project’s down ramps is now open for traffic.”
The SCLR has helped dissolve traffic congestion in BKC, CST Road and Hansbhugra road. It has also helped improve connectivity from Eastern to Western Express Highway by reducing travel time by about 45 minutes.
