Mumbai Coastal Road Project to Open Underpass, Promenade by 2025

The Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP) is set to open a 550-meter vehicular underpass (VuP) next month, offering smoother traffic flow for motorists traveling from Dadar and Prabhadevi towards the coastal road.

Additionally, a 7.5 km Marine-Drive-like promenade featuring jogging tracks, seating areas, and green spaces will be ready by May 2025, stretching from Priyadarshini Park to Worli. The promenade, spanning 11 hectares, will include 20 pedestrian underpasses (PuPs) for easy access, enhancing public connectivity and the city’s coastal experience.

The 10.58 km coastal road, connecting Marine Drive to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL), is now operational, improving traffic movement.

As part of its CSR initiative, Tata Sons Limited is beautifying the median along a 4.35 km stretch from Priyadarshini Park to Worli. Additionally, five firms have shown interest in developing 70 hectares of open space along the coastal road, with an estimated CSR investment of Rs 4 billion ($48 million).

“We are currently reviewing these firms, after which a final decision will be made,” stated a senior civic official.

The 20-meter-wide promenade along the coastline will offer breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea. Officials confirmed that the underpasses are nearing completion and will open alongside the landscaping work.
