Santacruz-Chembur Link Road Nears Completion, Opening Soon
A big road project in Mumbai called the Santacruz‑Chembur Link Road is almost finished.
The last part of the road, which connects the Bandra Kurla Complex to Vakola, is ready.
When it opens, cars can travel from the east side of the city to the west side without stopping.
This will make the trip faster, saving up to 35 minutes.
The project is run by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority and the city’s municipal corporation.
It will help people get to work and school more easily.
The road will also help reduce traffic jams on other busy roads.
The final section is expected to open soon, so everyone can start using it soon.
This is a big improvement for Mumbai’s traffic.

BKC‑Vakola connector will finish the missing east‑west link.
Project managed by MMRDA and BMC with ₹31 crore repair work.
