- Vehicles coming from the Ghatkopar LBS Marg and taking a right turn at Kurla Depot Junction to go towards Vakola through South Bound of Santacruz Chembur Link Road will not be allowed entry.
- Automobiles arriving from Sion L.B.S Road to take a left turn from Kurla Depot Junction towards Vakola through southern Santacruz-Chembur Link Road will not be allowed entry either.
- Vehicles travelling towards Chembur via Santacruz Chembur Link Road, moving towards Vakola by crossing L.BS, will not be allowed entry.
These roads will be shut entirely, keeping the construction of the metro and the sewage line in Mumbai’s Kurla.
