Phase 1 of Mumbai coastal road project scheduled to open in November

By November 2023, the Marine Drive to Worli section of the Mumbai coastal road should be completed. A senior Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) official estimates that up to 71% of the work has been completed. The BMC is building the project, which is anticipated to cost a total of Rs 127.21 billion. Phase One, the 10.58 km portion from Marine Drive to Worli in South Mumbai, would be operational by November, according to MM Swami, BMC Chief Engineer.

Swami claims that 91% of the tunnel boring work, 93% of the reclamation, 79% of the retaining wall, 36% of the interchanges, and 32% of the bridges have been finished as yet. The project began in October 2018. Overall, 111 hectares of land have been restored. Swami asserted that the coastal route will cut down on noise and air pollution while reducing fuel consumption by 34% and travel time between Marine Lines in South Mumbai and Kandivli in North Mumbai by 70%. The two tube twin tunnels, each measuring 2.07 kilometres, are now under construction.

The model promenade is currently being built, according to deputy engineer Vijay Zore. Whereas the beach road promenade is 7.5 km long and 20 m wide, the Marine Drive promenade is 3.25 km long and 10 m broad. There are three interchanges on the coastal route, located in Haji Ali, Worli, and Amarson's Junction. Moreover, MMRDA intends to build a tunnel to link the Eastern Freeway to Marine Drive and ultimately to the coastal route.
