On Monday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde unveiled the first phase of the coastal road connecting Worli and Marine Drive in south Mumbai.
The initial phase covers a 10.5-kilometer-long stretch, allowing traffic movement between Worli Seaface, Haji Ali interchange, and Amarson’s interchange points, with exit options at Marine Lines.
Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, along with other dignitaries, attended the inauguration ceremony for the south-bound corridor of the coastal road.
Commenced on October 13, 2018, the ambitious project has an estimated cost of Rs 12,721 crore.
As part of the project, a world-class Central Park sprawling over 320 acres will be developed along the road, named as ‘Dharmaveer Sambhaji Maharaj Coastal Road’, announced CM Shinde last week.
