Key Highlights

  1. After the Coastal Road was opened, data indicated that around 43,000 vehicles travel on it
  2. Initially, it was estimated that it would accommodate 1.30 lakh vehicles per day
  3. The 10.58-km Coastal Road is almost complete, with an estimated cost of Rs 14,400 crore

In September, after the Coastal Road was opened to traffic seven days a week, data indicated that around 43,000 vehicles travel on it daily. Initially, when the Coastal Road project was proposed, it was estimated that it would accommodate 1.30 lakh vehicles per day upon completion. However, while the southbound arm connecting to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and some arms at Worli and Haji Ali are still under construction, officials believe these may not significantly impact the number of vehicles.
