To gauge the traffic situation after the opening of the southbound stretch of the Coastal Road, mid-day travelled from S V Road in Bandra West to Marine Drive via the old route. Along the route, team mid-day faced little or no traffic in areas that are usually congested. This was primarily due to the majority of vehicles moving towards south Mumbai opting for the Coastal Road, leaving the old route free of traffic during morning peak hours.

Team mid-day started out around 9.23 am on Tuesday from the signal opposite Lucky Restaurant on S V road and while proceeding towards the Mahim Church, got stuck in minor traffic due to the signal along this stretch. Later, it proceeded via the Old Cadell road towards Shivaji Park and further to Siddhivinayak temple.
