Mumbai, March 9: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will construct a roof over the pedestrian underpass at the Mumbai Coastal Road (South) Project, following the completion of the pedestrian underpasses (PuPs). The project is estimated to cost around Rs 19 crore.
Overview of the Coastal Road project
The Coastal Road features a 10.58-km, 8-lane expressway connecting Worli to Marine Drive, developed at a total cost of Rs 13,984 crore. The 7.47 km-long promenade, extending from Priyadarshini Park to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL), is more than twice the length of the iconic 3.5-km Marine Drive promenade and has become a major attraction for both visitors and tourists.
Promenade sections open to public
Currently, two major sections of the promenade are open to the public: a 2.75 km stretch from Tata Garden to Haji Ali, and a 2.5 km stretch between Lovegrove Nullah (Worli Gutter) and B. M. Thackeray Chowk. These sections feature PuPs providing direct access to the seafront.
In total, there are 19 entry points, including key locations such as the Akruti Parking Building on Bhulabhai Desai Road, Vatsalabai Desai Chowk (Haji Ali Junction), Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road near Worli Milk School, and Bindumadhav Thackeray Chowk in Worli.
