Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde recently assured that the first phase of Mumbai coastal road project will be operational by the end of January 2024.
The first phase of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)’s ambitious project includes distance between Marine Drive to Worli.
He made these statements while speaking at an event in Mumbai. He also called Maharashtra a growth engine which has the most number of infrastructure projects in the country.
This comes at a time when the project is already facing delays. Owing to this, last month, it was announced that the plans were afoot to start one arm of this bridge by mid-February 2024, reports stated.
Earlier, southbound traffic on the Mumbai coastal road was scheduled to commence its operation from November 2023.
The coastal road, being constructed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), proposes to connect the Marine Drive area in south Mumbai to Kandivali, a western suburb, via the existing Bandra Worli Sea Link. It is expected to ease Mumbai’s northbound traffic.
He also stated that the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL) project from Sewri to Nhava Sheva will be ready by this month. He stated it will help citizens cover a distance of 22 km in 15 minutes, which currently takes about two hours.
