Motorists travelling from the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) towards Andheri via the Western Express Highway (WEH), will soon experience a smoother commute, thanks to the nearly completed elevated connector at Vakola. This connector, which features India’s first sharp-curved span with an orthotropic steel deck supported by cable stays, will eliminate the need to stop at the traffic signal.
According to MMRDA sources, the elevated connector is expected to be operational by December. “The SCLR connector passing over the WEH towards Andheri is anticipated to be completed by November 30 and is likely to open for motorists in December 2024,” an MMRDA official stated.
