The traffic police said that although diversions have been put in place, motorists can expect congestion in the area in peak hours.

An advisory issued by the traffic police stated that storm water drainage outfall work will be carried out on the south-bound arm of Marine Drive between Taraporewala Aquarium and Islam Gymkhana. The work is expected to be completed in five months.

The existing south-bound traffic on Marine Drive will be routed through the service road running parallel along the Islam Gymkhana. As backlogs are likely, the police have appealed to south-bound motorists to avoid using Marine Drive stretch for the next five months.
