On Monday, thousands of people will visit Chaitya Bhoomi at Shivaji Park, Dadar to pay homage to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar on his 54th death anniversary (Mahaparinirvan Din).
Keeping the heavy traffic around Shivaji Park under consideration, motorists are advised to use Senapati Bapat Marg, NM Joshi Marg and Dr BA Road to avoid delays. To ensure smooth flow of traffic, the traffic police will impose certain restrictions from 8pm on December 5 till December 7.

North-bound vehicular traffic coming from Colaba and CST may use P D’mello Road, Barister Nath Pai Marg, Zakeria Bunder Road, RAK Marg upto Matunga’s Arora bridge and turn along Dr BA Road, and further on via Sion Hospital Junction.
An alternative is to turn left at Gafarkhan Junction on Dr Annie Besant Road and head for the sea link.
