<p>On the Western Express Highway south bound traffic was moving very slowly right from Kandivli till Kalanagar till 2 pm in the afternoon.</p>
<p>While cars moved at a snail's pace, till Bandra, the route between Kandivali to Andheri and Santacruz airport to Bandra on the highway was affected till 4pm.</p>
<p>Motorists who avoided WEH by taking the Link Road on the western suburbs also had to struggle as it was congested too, including all the short-cuts.</p>
<p>The situation on SCLR also reported slow movement. Water logging affected many parts of Ghatkopar especially near PVR, Kurla. There was bumper-to bumper traffic near Sion on the Eastern Wxpress Highway.</p>
<p>Congested traffic near Lalbaug Flyover, Sion Flyover, Vashi Panvel Highway, BKC, along with potholes on the WEH and EEH added to the woes of commuters.</p>
