Motorists travelling between the Western Express Highway (WEH) and the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) have reason to cheer, as the long-pending connector arm of the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) is nearing completion.
The much-awaited connector will provide a direct link from WEH to Mumbai University and BKC, significantly easing traffic congestion in the area. Once operational, the arm is expected to reduce travel time between WEH and BKC by nearly 30 to 35 minutes in both directions. The project is likely to be completed by March 2026.
