Illegal parking and auto rickshaws are adding to the traffic woes of Andheri residents and those commuting from the area. With the closure of Gokhale Road bridge, there is added pressure on the other east-west connectors and internal roads. And with auto rickshaws blocking a lane, it has become difficult for motorists and pedestrians alike.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has suggested several alternative routes including Andheri subway and flyovers in Jogeshwari, Vile Parle, Santacruz, etc and has also removed the hawkers from these areas. However, most people who used to take the Gokhale bridge, mostly opt for Andheri subway and Vile Parle flyover as these two are the closest.
