Regular commuters on the BKC to Eastern Express Highway route are finally set to get some relief from the traffic they face near the Kurla-Sion Bandra Link Road stretch as work on the elevated road connecting BKC with Chunabhatti is nearing completion. The road will be thrown open to the public by September.

Metropolitan Commissioner R A Rajeev told mid-day that construction work on the BKC-Chunabhatti elevated connector has been completed. "Only blacktopping (surfacing with tar) the road is pending which will be done post monsoon and the road will be thrown open for motorists in September," he said.
