Mumbai Prepares For Election Results: Road Closures, Diversions Announced For Counting Day

The Mumbai Traffic Police have issued a travel advisory in view of the Maharashtra assembly election vote counting on Saturday, November 23. The results, from elections held on November 20, will decide if the Mahayuti alliance or the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) wins. Residents and commuters should be aware of potential disruptions.

Traffic regulations will be enforced due to the presence of a Strong Room at the Bharat Ratna Rajiv Gandhi District Sports Complex on Sant Channyya Road in Dharavi. These rules will apply from 00:01 hours to 24:00 hours on November 23, 2024. The Kurla Traffic Division will oversee temporary traffic controls in specific areas throughout the day.

Mumbai Traffic Advisory: Key Routes Affected

Key routes impacted include the 178-Dharavi Assembly Office and the Strong Room at the Bharat Ratna Rajiv Gandhi District Sports Complex. Vehicles are prohibited from entering the southbound lane of Sant Channyya Road, especially between Shri Dattu Katake Chauk (Kacharpatti Junction) and Dharavi 'Y' Junction.

The restrictions will start at 1:00 AM and last until 11:00 PM. Commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly to avoid delays. Awareness of route closures and diversions is crucial for smooth travel during this period.

Mumbai Traffic Advisory: Alternative Routes

To ease travel, alternative routes have been suggested by traffic police. Commuters should begin at Shri Dattu Katake Chauk and proceed towards LBS Marg. They should then turn right at Pai Naresh Mane Junction near Sion Station Junction. From there, vehicles can continue onto St. Rohidas Marg through Dharavi 'Y' Junction to reach their destination.

These measures aim to ensure secure and efficient traffic flow during vote counting as Mumbai gears up for a significant political event. All road users are encouraged to follow these guidelines and adhere to traffic regulations in place for a smoother experience.
