Starting from 12:00 AM on Tuesday, commuters in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area of Mumbai should brace themselves for potential traffic woes as a significant road closure is set to come into effect. The road closure will extend from the Diamond Bourse junction to the JSW Centre and the Platina building junction to Motilal Nehru Nagar near the Trade Centre. This closure is necessary to facilitate the construction of an underground railway station for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad National High-Speed Rail Corporation's bullet train project, which will be situated at the MMRDA ground.

The affected routes will remain inaccessible to traffic until June 30, 2024. These routes encompass the BKC connector passing through Kurla's Razzak junction, the stretch from MTL junction to the diamond bourse junction with a left and right turn towards the JSW office in Kherwadi, Bandra (East), the road linking Kherwadi to the Asian Heart Hospital with left and right turns towards the diamond bourse junction, SW and MMRDA offices, and the J Kumar yard. Additionally, the closure will affect Razzak and MTNL junctions and BKC Road 10 leading to the Platina junction, with a left turn followed by a right turn towards the trade centre.

This road closure is part of the ongoing efforts to advance the ambitious Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project. While the inconvenience to commuters is acknowledged, the development is expected to contribute to the expansion and modernization of the city's transportation infrastructure. Commuters are advised to plan their routes accordingly and consider alternative means of transportation during this period to mitigate potential disruptions.
