Check alternate routes

"Due to very important event being organised at the Jio World Convention Centre, BKC from 28th to 30th August,  heavy vehicular movement is expected in BKC from 9 am to 8 pm," the Traffic Police stated. It also urged commuters to avoid the BKC thoroughfare and use alternate routes like the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR), the Santa Cruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR), and the Eastern Freeway to reach their destinations.

Authorities advise alternate routes, advance planning

In an ongoing effort to manage the heavy traffic around the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) during the Global Fintech Fest 2024, authorities are working diligently to ease the flow of vehicles and minimise disruptions. Despite these efforts, travellers have been strongly advised to plan their journeys in advance, allowing extra time for commutes or considering the use of public transportation where possible. Earlier in the day, the Mumbai Traffic Police reiterated their advisory for commuters to use alternate routes, specifically suggesting the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) and the Eastern Freeway, due to heavy congestion on the Eastern Express Highway.

Global Fintech Fest 2024

One of the world’s largest annual fintech conferences, the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) is back with its fifth edition. The theme of this year’s conference is 'Blueprint for the Next Decade of Finance: Responsible AI | Inclusive | Resilient'.
