17 Apr 2024 CW Team

Regarding operational details, a BMC official noted that although the Coastal Road remained closed on Saturdays and Sundays, it was kept open on April 13 due to Eid and IPL, with the traffic police managing the situation. The official also highlighted that traffic typically peaked between 10 am and noon, as well as between 6 and 7 pm. The road operated in one direction from Bindu Madhav Thackeray Chowk in Worli to the southbound tunnel's exit ahead of Princess Street Flyover on Marine Drive, from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 8 pm. There were three entry points ? Bindu Madhav Thackeray Junction (Worli), Rajani Patel Junction (also known as Lotus Junction, Mahalakshmi), and Amarsons Garden (Breach Candy) ? and two exits ? Amarsons Garden and Marine Drive (the tunnel exit). Entry from the Worli point was permitted only until 5 pm, with a civic official attributing the restricted timings to ongoing work on the northbound carriageway.

Residents shared their perspectives on the impact of the Coastal Road. Mahendra Hemdev, a resident of Marine Drive, expressed appreciation for the improved traffic flow brought about by the road's opening, eagerly awaiting the completion of the northbound arm. Dr. Bomi Pardiwala, a resident of Peddar Road, noted a reduction in traffic on their route, observing a decrease in honking during weekdays. However, he pointed out persistent bottlenecks, such as the U-turn needed to access the Coastal Road from the Breach Candy interchange, which continued to be a concern.

The report stated that since the partial opening of the Coastal Road on March 12, nearly 4.5 lakh vehicles had utilized its nine-minute signal-free drive from Worli to Marine Drive. This translated to a daily average of approximately 19,500 vehicles. The peak daily traffic volume was recorded at 22,880 on March 15, while the highest hourly traffic count of 2,943 occurred on March 21, a Thursday, between 10 and 11 am. It was mentioned that the gap between the Worli-end of the road's southbound arm and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link was expected to be bridged by the following Wednesday, as a 136-meter-long bow string girder had arrived on-site and was being prepared for launch. The completion of the road was anticipated by June, according to BMC.
