SCLR extension project nears completion, 4.2 km stretch likely to be opened by Jan 2025

Additionally, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) recently completed a Rs 16 crore payment to defense authorities for essential land acquisition related to the project.

This 4.2-kilometer SCLR extension was initially planned to finish in 2019 after construction began in 2016 but there were delays due to multiple reasons, including defense land requirements.

The extension starts at Kapadia Nagar, extending to Panbai International School. The route runs from  Kapadia Nagar Junction near LBS Road to the Western Express Highway at Vakola Junction. Passing through significant points like Vakola Junction, Ambedkar Chowk, University Junction, and BKC Junction, the route promises to enhance connectivity between Kurla and the elevated road at Vakola.
