Mumbai is known for congested roads and never-ending traffic snarls, but today may be that little more complex of a task than usual because of an important ceremony at the Bombay High Court. The traffic police issued an advisory to absorb this situation because it is time for the city to get ready to celebrate an important ceremony. The traffic police need to make sure all the motorists know about the diverting routes available and other routes closed due to the ceremonies, and also kept them updated about the flow of traffic.
This blog will describe the police advisory, the affected routes, and, most importantly, the alternative routes by which the commuter may avoid getting any further delayed.
Police Advisory for Bombay High Court Ceremony
The police issued a traffic advisory today due to the large-scale event that took place in the Bombay High Court. Being such an important event, this has attracted a lot of people, causing significant increases in traffic within and around South Mumbai. As a result, some roads have been closed, while other drivers are advised to take detours to avoid congestion.
The most significant among the closed roads is Fort where the Bombay High Court is located. The road closure will cause significant traffic snarls at parts of Marine Drive, Colaba Causeway, and CST. The police have already stationed men at several places to regulate the flow of traffic and strictly enforce the alternative routes.
Road Closures You Need to Know
The police have dug through different roads for the smooth movement of attendees during the ceremony. For the function, the roads to be temporarily closed shall include the ones mentioned below:
- Veer Nariman Road – Closed to all wheeled traffic.
- Kala Ghoda Junction – Restricted through seepage from the attendees.
- MG Road – Vehicular movement to be partially possible with diversion paths.
- Esplanade Road – Complied to closed for unnecessary traffics.
Throughout the event, the roads will be closed, and drivers are requested to keep off those roads until normal traffic flow is restored.
Alternative Routes for Motorists
The police have identified alternative routes to bypass heavy traffic and blocked roads.
From Marine Lines to Nariman Point: This route for people from Marine Lines, going to Nariman Point, must take Princess Street and move ahead on Oval Maidan.
From Colaba to Fort: From Colaba, one should take the Colaba Causeway and then left at Regal Circle to bypass the closed portions.
A Central Mumbai Police officer suggests taking the JJ Flyover from there to bypass crowded roads. This will also avoid unnecessary delay and traffic flow will be smooth in other places of the city.
Public Transport: The Efficient Option
The police also advise the commuters to take public transport as that is an efficient option against driving. Local trains are likely to run without any hindrances, which makes them a reliable mode of transport for people traveling long distances within the city.
Taxis and auto-rickshaws will be available near Marine Lines and CST for those who will be present in the ceremony. Since there are road restrictions, it is likely that the taxi would not be able to reach the exact location so passengers have to walk a little further to reach their destination.
What to Expect After the Event
Once the function is over, the police will gradually open all those closed roads. But traffic in South Mumbai may be heavy a bit longer since several guests staying in locality are leaving. The motorists should bear patience and follow signals and instructions of the police to facilitate smooth flow.
In any event, police will continue to monitor the situation and issue further advisories if necessary. Drive times are recommended to be refreshed from time to time, especially to those who may need to cross South Mumbai later in the day.
