MMRDA Suggests Missing Link to Ease Traffic at BKC One Junction

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has proposed a new link designed to alleviate traffic congestion at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) connector and BKC One Junction. This link will connect Plot C-80 to Plot C-79, located beneath the BKC connector, and extend from the SEBI building to Avenue 5 (BKC connector road) and Avenue 3 (WeWork).

According to MMRDA, the new route will enable signal-free movement, thereby reducing travel time. It will distribute traffic across three alternative routes, which is expected to result in faster and more efficient traffic dispersal. Furthermore, the link will ensure uninterrupted connectivity for vehicles traveling to and from the BKC connector and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), facilitating smoother access to the G-Block of the Mumbai Cricket Association, consulates, MTNL, and other significant locations.

The MMRDA had previously constructed the elevated BKC connector between Bandra-Kurla Complex?s G Block and the Eastern Express Highway (EEH) to improve accessibility. This connector, which was opened to traffic on November 10, 2019, provides the shortest route between the Western Express Highway (WEH) and the EEH compared to the Santacruz Chembur Link Road.

Currently, all traffic using the BKC connector must navigate an 18-meter narrow road at BKC via the J-17 junction in front of the Punjab National Bank road, which leads to congestion at both BKC One junction and the BKC connector. MMRDA officials stated that the proposed link is intended to reduce this congestion by offering an additional route.
