Mumbai’s Seaside Promenade Phase 1 Opens on 15 July

Mumbai, 7 July 2025 – The first phase of Mumbai’s long-awaited seaside promenade, part of the Coastal Road project, will open to the public on 15 July, offering citizens enhanced access to open, green waterfront space in the congested city.

This phase includes a 3.05 km stretch from Priyadarshini Park to Haji Ali Junction, and another 1.7 km segment from Baroda Place to Worli’s Bindumadhav Thackeray Chowk, according to officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

One of India’s Longest Promenades
The fully completed promenade will span 7.5 km, making it one of India’s longest seaside walkways, with a 15-metre width. It will feature:
Dedicated walking and cycling tracks
Lush tree-lined paths
11 planned underpasses, with 4 accessible in Phase 1
Bio-toilets at key access points
Two parking facilities (each with 225-car capacity) opening at Worli
Entry and exit points in Phase 1 include Amarsons Garden, Mahalaxmi Temple, Bindu Madhav Chowk, and Worli Dairy.

Rainfall Damage and Mitigation
Despite progress, challenges persist. During unusually high tides (4.75 metres) last week, a section of the parapet wall and pavement near Priyadarshini Garden was damaged by waves. Tiles were dislodged and fell onto the northbound lane of the coastal road.
A senior BMC engineer clarified:
“Such damage occurred only due to extreme tidal conditions. During high tide events, precautionary closures and structural reinforcements will be necessary.”

Project Overview
1 Total cost of the coastal road: Rs 13,000 crore (~£1.2 billion)
2 Promenade development cost: Rs 35 crore (~£3.3 million)
The remaining portions of the promenade are scheduled to open by September 2025, offering a landmark urban space along Mumbai’s western coast.
