Heavy waterlogging of around one to one-and-a-half feet was recorded at Shanti Nagar Paper Box in MIDC, leading to slow traffic movement. Similar congestion was reported at Gandhi Nagar Junction in Vikhroli and Surve Junction in Kurla. On the Eastern Freeway, southbound traffic near Wadala’s Poll No. 107 was affected after a taxi broke down amid the heavy rain. The Shilphata Road is heavily jammed, and Khardi–Diva Road is waterlogged.
Areas with heavy pedestrian and vehicular movement, such as Elphinstone Bridge and Andheri Subway, are flooded with rainwater, forcing people to wade through waterlogged roads to make their way.
Heavy rains left several key stretches in Andheri and beyond waterlogged on Tuesday, disrupting both road and rail movement. Along with the Andheri Subway, waterlogging was reported at RTO Office Lane in Andheri West, the Western Express Highway under Gundavali Metro, and near Bhavan’s College at DN Nagar. Dighe railway station also witnessed flooding, affecting commuters.
On Swami Vivekananda Road in Andheri West, a BEST bus was stranded in knee-deep water, where traffic police and a bus conductor stepped in to help passengers safely get out.
Authorities have urged commuters to exercise caution and expect delays in low-lying areas.
