Mumbai traffic diversions near Bhandup from Oct 28 for metro work
The Story in Brief
The Mumbai Traffic Police has announced night traffic restrictions and diversions near Bhandup Sonapur Junction on LBS Marg from Wednesday, October 28 to December 31, 2026, for girder installation work at the Shangrila Metro Station. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is carrying out the work as part of the Metro Line 4 project between Dr Kalpana Chawla Chowk and Jainam Banquet-Bhandup Sonapur Junction.
Restrictions will be in force daily from 11 pm to 6 am, or until work is completed. Only emergency vehicles will be allowed through the junction during those hours. The police have issued detailed northbound and southbound diversion routes for Thane-bound and Kanjurmarg-Bhandup-bound traffic respectively, with separate routes for light motor vehicles. Alternative routes via the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road and Goregaon-Mulund Link Road have also been specified.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Night commuters on LBS Marg face two months of detours while MMRDA installs precast girders for the Shangrila Metro station. The diversion affects both directions and covers key junctions used by traffic from Kanjurmarg, Bhandup, Mulund and the Eastern Express Highway. The police have made separate arrangements for light motor vehicles, which may ease congestion on the main diversion routes. Work runs until December 31, so drivers should factor in extra travel time during night hours through the period.
