07 Nov 2024 CW Team

The final bridge span of Mumbai's coastal road project is set to be connected, marking a significant milestone in the development of the city's infrastructure. Once completed, this bridge will link the new coastal road to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, improving connectivity and reducing traffic congestion along one of Mumbai's busiest routes.

This coastal road project, which includes multiple bridges, tunnels, and underpasses, is designed to ease traffic flow between South Mumbai and the western suburbs. The completion of this last span is expected to provide seamless connectivity for commuters, further enhancing the city's transportation network.

The project is part of Mumbai’s broader efforts to develop state-of-the-art infrastructure that supports sustainable urban development. With environmental concerns in mind, the coastal road is designed to minimize traffic congestion and pollution by encouraging smoother, faster commutes.

The final phase of the project is also expected to increase the capacity of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, enabling it to handle more vehicles and reduce bottlenecks. Once fully operational, the coastal road will significantly cut down travel time, offering improved access to key locations in the city, including the upcoming business and residential developments in the area.
