The much-awaited Vidyavihar East-West connector, a 34-year-old dream for locals, has faced hurdles from the start, and even after nearing completion, new challenges threaten to create bottlenecks. On the west side, congestion is expected at Nathani Road (Kurla-Ghatkopar Road), while on the east, traffic could choke at Sindhu Wadi Junction on MG Road (Ghatkopar-Mahul Road).

According to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the project is estimated to be completed by March 2026. Although this east-west connector was marked in the 1991 Development Plan, motorists and Ghatkopar residents now fear potential traffic snarls.
