The nearest railway station is [[Mahim Junction railway station|Mahim Junction]] on the [[Western line (Mumbai Suburban Railway)|Western line]] and [[Harbour line (Mumbai Suburban Railway)|Harbour Line]] of the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]] network. The station is an important Junction as it connects Western Suburbs (till [[Goregaon]]) with [[Harbour line (Mumbai Suburban Railway)|Harbour line]] ([[Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus|CSMT]] to [[King's Circle railway station|Kings Circle]]). Taxis and buses are widely used by the locals and auto rickshaws are not allowed.

=== Mahim Causeway ===
[[File:Mahim Causeway 2.jpg|thumb|The Mahim Causeway, Koliwada Creek Bridge]]
The [[Mahim Causeway]] is a vital link road connecting the neighborhoods of Mahim in [[Mumbai City district]] to [[Bandra]] in [[Mumbai Suburban district]].

The Mahim Causeway was built between 1841 and 1846 to connect the island of Salsette with Mahim. The swampy area between the two islands made travel dangerous and thus a need for a causeway arose. The [[British East India Company]], which governed Bombay at that time, refused to fund the project. This led [[Avabai Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy|Lady Jeejeebhoy]], wife of the first baronet Sir [[Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy]], to donate the entire amount of {{INR}}157,000/- <!-- NUMBERING SYSTEM IS CORRECT! See [[Indian numbering system]]. --> on the condition that the government would not charge a toll for its use or disturb the [[Koli people|Koli]] community who lived around the area.<ref>{{cite news|title=A bridge with a difference|url=http://week.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMonline.dll/portal/ep/theWeekContent.do?BV_ID=@@@&contentType=EDITORIAL&sectionName=TheWeek Last Word&programId=1073754894&contentId=5758088|last=Mahesh Dattani}}</ref>

The Mahim Causeway forms the link between [[Swami Vivekanand Road (Mumbai)|Swami Vivekanand Road]] and L.J. Road, being the stretch between Bandra Masjid and Mahim Church ([[St. Michael's Church, Mumbai|St. Michael's Church]]). It is not to be confused with the [[Bandra–Worli Sea Link]], a major infrastructural project opened on 30 June 2009 which is designed to ease traffic across the causeway by building another bridge across the Mahim Bay.
