The unauthorised parking along Link Road and below the Metro corridor between Oshiwara Depot and MG Road junction, has become a nightmare for motorists using this arterial road. It leads to traffic jams during morning and evening peak hours.

The work of the Dahisar-DN Nagar Metro line 2A is going on in full swing on new Link Road between D N Nagar in Andheri West and Dahisar. On a major part of the section the launching of girders over the piers has been completed. Illegal parking has also started below the Metro corridor at few places by Anand Nagar near Jogeshwari. Just to cross around an 700 -800 metres stretch between Oshiwara Depot and MG Road junction on Link Road, it takes motorists 30-45 minutes due to the illegal parking. There are also slum pockets on the side of the north bound stretch of the road with shops and some garages touching the road, and people working there also park their vehicles along the road. Regular motorists feel that the traffic police and BMC should clear the road of illegally parked vehicles and the roadside hawkers.
