In order to expedite the metro construction work in the Dahisar-DN Nagar metro corridor stretch that passes through New Link Road, authorities have imposed six-hour traffic blocks in the night, between midnight and 6 am. Commuters are being diverted to another route.

An official from MMRDA said, "We want to complete the civil work of the Dahisar-Andheri East metro line 2A at the earliest and hence, we are blocking traffic at some locations on New Link Road at the spots where the girder launching has to be done." This block will continue for two to three months, officials said.
