There are two temples and two mosques, which need to be shifted in Ghatkopar west. Besides, some structures have to be removed on the Ghatkopar East West bridge.

In the L Ward, a courtyard of a temple has to be removed as it blocks the traffic movement.

The road is also used by many residents of Ghatkopar and Vikhroli to reach the international airport. “The stretch from Western Express Highway to the airport is in great condition, but the stretch from Eastern Express Highway to the airport is in a bad shape with many speed breakers, illegal parking and potholes,” said P Shah a resident of Ghatkopar.
