Four additional lanes of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link will open to traffic by March 24, instead of March 16 as scheduled earlier.

Motorists moving from South Mumbai to the suburbs can use the new lanes after March 24 as some final touches are yet to be given to the north carriageway.

It was not opened on Gudi Padwa as planned earlier. Some work like painting, signages, etc remains. It will be opened by March 24  according to the Minister of Public Works Department (public undertakings). The carriageway was to be commissioned by 2009 December but was delayed as work was behind schedule.

Now, the four lanes of the operational carriageway are divided into two each for north- and south-moving traffic, resulting in some accidents. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) is pinning its hopes on the carriageway to minimise accidents. There have been no accidents on the sea link for the last few months.

Be a part of the Mumbai Car Free Day !

Welcome to the first KBS Foundation ‘Car Free Day‘, an annual event to be held at Carter Road, Bandra on February 21st, Sunday 2010.

Mumbai Car Free Day is an all day Sunday programme that encourages physical activity in fuel-free and cleaner air for the young and old citizens to come outdoors and enjoy the streets.

KBS Foundation is a non-profit, non-political, social and charitable organisation. It was formed by committed and concerned citizens of Khar,Bandra and Santacruz.

About ‘ Active Transportation’

KBSF will submit a proposal KBSF Cycle Project - 15 km dedicated Cycle Lanes for bandra-Khar to the Chief Minister Shri Ashok Chavan, with the help of MP Smt. Priya Dutt and MLA Shri.Baba Siddiqui.

This dream project will be the first of its kind, and if approved will drastically change the quality of life in the suburbs.
