Mumbai's Mumbai Traffic Police has announced traffic diversions and restrictions near Bhandup Sonapur Junction on Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg from October 28 to December 31, 2026. The aim is to install precast girders for the Shangrila Metro Station as part of the ongoing Mumbai Metro Line 4 project.

Crane deployment and heavy trailers carrying steel girders will operate at Bhandup Sonapur Junction on LBS Marg, necessitating traffic movement restrictions in both directions, except for emergency vehicles. The restrictions will be in place from 11 pm to 6 am the next morning, or until work completion.

Northbound Thane-bound traffic is being diverted via Dr Kalpana Chawla Junction near Madhuban Garden, Bhandup Village Road, Subhash Nagar Road, Maruti Mandir Road, Lake Road, Shri Kaykai Shetty Marg, and Swatantra Sainik Natha Babaji Thorat Road, leading to LBS Marg near the MSEDCL office/Bikaner.

Southbound Kanjurmarg-Bhandup-bound traffic is being rerouted at Bhandup Sonapur Junction by taking a left or right turn near Runwal Complex, proceeding via Subhash Nagar Road, Balkrishna Tatojirao Shinde Chowk, Bhandup Village Road, and reaching Dr Kalpana Chawla Junction near Madhuban Garden before heading towards Bhandup and Kanjurmarg.

Light motor vehicles can take an alternative route via the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR), Airoli flyover, and Goregaon-Mulund Link Road (GMLR) to reach their destinations. Motorists are advised to follow the prescribed diversions and cooperate with traffic personnel for public safety and minimal inconvenience.
