Ahead of voting for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly Elections on November 20, the Mumbai Traffic Police have issued a traffic advisory for road closures in the Ghatkopar area. This step has been taken by authorities due to the office of the 168-Chandivali Vidhan Sabha Constituency and the strong rooms located on Kirol Road (Nathani Road) and Vidya Vihar West to keep poll ballots inside. No parking facility is available.
Starting from November 18, 2024, at 11:45 PM, Kirol Road (Nathani Road) will be completely closed to all vehicles except those assigned for election work. The closure will extend from Vidya Vihar Junction to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Chowk, ensuring that only buses and vehicles transporting poll materials and personnel can access this route.
Alternate Routes
To mitigate traffic disruption, motorists are advised to use alternate routes. Traffic between Vidya Vihar Junction and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Chowk will be redirected to Vidya Vihar Station (West) Road, Ramdev Pir Road and Naval Vihar Road. This adjustment aims to maintain a steady flow of traffic while ensuring that essential election operations can proceed without hindrance.
Duration of Restrictions
On November 18, 2024, at 11:45 PM to November 19, 2024, at 11:59 PM.
The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with vote counting for all 288 constituencies set for November 23.
