SCLR Extension Aims to Cut Mumbai Travel Time by 45 Minutes

The Free Press Journal · · Infrastructure

Mumbai’s SCLR extension is expected to cut travel between the Eastern and Western Express Highways by about 45 minutes, though experts warn congestion may return.

Key facts

The Santa Cruz–Chembur Link Road (SCLR), opened in 2014 with Mumbai’s first double-decker flyover, connects Kapadia Nagar on CST Road to Amar Mahal Junction on the Eastern Express Highway. Congestion, particularly around Vakola, prompted the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority to plan an extension. Construction began in 2016 but was delayed by defence land acquisition and compensation negotiations between the Ministry of Defence and the BMC; significant portions are complete.

The extension is intended to bypass Vakola Junction and provide direct connectivity between the Western and Eastern Express Highways. Once open, it is expected to cut travel time by approximately 45 minutes and improve access to Bandra-Kurla Complex and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.

Transport expert Vivek Pai warned that rising vehicle numbers could offset the benefits within a decade, as he says happened with the original SCLR, designed to serve until 2050. He said road construction alone will not solve congestion and called for vehicle-ownership regulations. The upcoming Goregaon Mulund Link Road is also intended to connect Mumbai’s east and west.
