The project has been proposed in two parts: the southern part from Princess Street flyover to the south end of Bandra Worli Sea Link (9.98 km) and the northern part from the north end of Bandra Worli Sea Link to Kandivali (19.22 km).

“The Mumbai Coastal Road is a first-of-its-kind mega project of roads on reclamation in India,” says Dr Sanjay Mukherjee, IAS, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects), Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM). Tenders have already been invited for the southern part of the project on EPC basis, estimated at Rs 5,303 crore, and actual work is proposed to commence in October this year. “We are in the main process of tendering. The RFQ for shortlisting bidders for the southern part has been published. Also, tenders for project management consultants have been invited. Both will be shortlisted by the end of April 2017. We have appointed the general consultant and are in the process of RFP.”

The proposed project involves the construction of a combination of land-filled roads (on reclaimed areas), bridge, tunnels, road on stilts over mangrove areas, interchanges, culverts, pedestrian underpasses and foot-over-bridges.
