While the Ghatkopar East-West connector on the Ghatkopar-Andheri link road witnessed a huge traffic blockade, work on the two alternate connectors of Vikhroli and Vidhyavihar has also been delayed due to various reasons. The work on the Vikhroli connector will be completed in March 2025, and that of the Vidyavihar connector will be completed in February 2026.

As per the original plan, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) approved the project of the Vikhroli East-West connector in 2018, which was to be completed by October 2020. The deadline was extended till May 2023 as there was a change in the bridge structure design, encroachment,  land handover delays, and the pandemic, among other reasons. Later, the work completion date was extended to December 2024. Now the BMC has given an assurance that the bridge work will be completed by March 2025. “There are some technical issues such as land encroachment and land handover. These issues are solved now. The project will be completed in time,” said civic officials from the bridges department.
