The Mumbai Traffic Police have announced temporary traffic diversions on the southbound lane of Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Marg in Ghatkopar, owing to ongoing construction on the Metro-4 corridor.

According to a notification issued by Pradeep Chavan, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Eastern Suburbs, a girder has been installed on the Metro-4 pillars near Pankesha Baba Dargah. To assess its load-bearing capacity, heavy weights will be placed on the structure using a crane over two days.

To ensure public safety and prevent traffic congestion, the southbound stretch of LBS Marg from R City Mall Junction to Pankesha Baba Dargah will be closed to all vehicles during the testing period. Traffic will instead be diverted to the northbound lane at R City Mall Junction. Vehicles will continue along this lane up to Pankesha Baba Dargah and rejoin the southbound side through a designated crossover near the Dargah.

The diversion will be enforced from 9:00 PM on May 10 to 9:00 AM on May 11, and again from 9:00 PM on May 12 to 9:00 AM on May 13.

Motorists are urged to follow traffic instructions and cooperate with the authorities to minimize inconvenience. The order was issued on May 9 under the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and applicable government notifications.
