A shortcut road, which was supposed to ease traffic at Kapadia Nagar Junction in Kalina, has been a problem for many commuters using it. The road, which comes from Mumbai University Gate 1 to Bharat Nagar’s UTI building had been open to the public without completion, leaving it lacking infrastructure like dividers, streetlights, and a proper entry point on the Mumbai University Gate 1 side of the road.
