According to a traffic notification, vehicles taking right turns at Shriram Mill Naka often cause long traffic jams due to limited space for turning. To ensure smoother traffic movement, right turns from all four directions at the junction have been banned during the specified hours.

Mumbai's iconic Elphinstone Bridge was demolished last month to make way for a new, safer structure. The traffic police had previously announced the temporary closure of Sir Bhalchandra Marg in Dadar East for the Elphinstone Bridge reconstruction by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
A traffic police notification stated that the closure of the route was put in place to ease traffic congestion and ensure that emergency vehicles could enter and exit the area without obstruction. The road between Pritam Hotel and European Bungalow will remain completely closed to all vehicles during the construction period.
A detailed traffic notification was then issued by the police, which also arranged alternate routes for motorists to avoid congestion in the area. These measures are part of the ongoing efforts to improve traffic management and ensure smoother travel for residents and visitors in Mumbai.
