MMRDA partially opens new link road to decongest BKC
Travel to BKC from Eastern Express Highway Now becomes Faster, Easier, and Signal-Free.
A new reverse lane system near the BKC connector is helping reduce traffic congestion and cutting commuter travel time during Mumbai’s morning rush hours (File photo). The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has opened a new signal-free road connecting the SEBI Building to Avenue-5, passing under the BKC connector and Avenue-3 (WeWork). This 180-metre missing link comprises six lanes. While three have been opened for traffic, the remaining three will be made operational soon, the MMRDA said.
According to MMRDA, it has been completed in three-and-a-half months—half the originally planned timeline—and will significantly reduce traffic congestion at the BKC One Junction and BKC Connector Junction.
With this new addition, commuters from the Eastern Express Highway (EEH) now have three alternative routes to enter BKC.
The new road ensures signal-free movement, reducing travel time and enabling seamless connectivity from the eastern suburbs to BKC in just 15 minutes.
