Mumbai Coastal Road to Open Underpass and Promenade Before Monsoon

26 Mar 2025 CW Team

The underpass, located beneath Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road, will facilitate smoother vehicular movement between Dadar, Prabhadevi, and the coastal road. It will provide direct access to both southern Mumbai and the western suburbs, reducing travel time for motorists. This underpass is the only one within the 10.58-kilometre coastal road stretch and will connect the Sewri-Worli connector with Marine Drive and Nariman Point, improving traffic flow and easing congestion in the area.

The coastal road’s promenade, extending from Priyadarshini Park to Worli, is designed to create a pedestrian-friendly public space. It will include jogging tracks, green zones, and seating areas, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Sea. Accessibility features such as tactile paving will accommodate persons with disabilities. The landscaping work is nearing completion and is expected to be finalized by the end of May.

Running parallel to the southbound carriageway, the promenade is part of a larger initiative to integrate eco-friendly spaces into the project. With over 70 hectares of reclaimed land, the development also includes green spaces, cycling tracks, and walking paths to promote sustainability. A significant portion of the land will be allocated for public use, with corporate social responsibility (CSR) investments from major companies contributing to its development.

As Mumbai continues to expand, these new additions aim to reduce congestion while offering improved public spaces, balancing urban growth with environmental sustainability and accessibility.

A newly constructed 550-metre vehicular underpass and a 7.5-kilometre promenade will be key additions to the high-speed corridor, which has been under development for several years.
