About Mumbai’s Coastal Road

Last month, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde inaugurated the first phase of the coastal road between Worli and Marine Drive in south Mumbai, hailing it as an ‘engineering marvel.’ The 10.5-kilometer-long stretch opened for traffic allows motorists to enter from Worli Seaface, Haji Ali interchange, and Amarson's interchange points, and exit at Marine Lines.

The second phase is set to open for traffic in May, connecting the 53 km-long coastal road to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and extending it up to Dahisar. The coastal road has been named after Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and was inaugurated on his death anniversary. A statue of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj will be erected in Worli, next to the coastal road.
