Here's what you need to know:
Reduced Travel Time: Stuck in soul-crushing traffic between Worli and Marine Drive? No more! The coastal road cuts travel time from a nightmarish 45 minutes (during peak hours) to a breezy 10 minutes. That's a massive time saver!
Open for Business (Partially): While the entire stretch spans 10.58 kilometers, currently, only a 9.5-kilometer section is operational. The remaining portion, along with the northbound lane, is expected to be completed by May 2024.
Entry and Exit Points: The currently open section allows entry from Worli C-Seal Link and Priyadarshini Indira Gandhi (PIG) Interchange and exits at Marine Lines. Be sure to stay updated for any changes as the full road becomes operational.
Speeding is Not Cool (or Allowed): The coastal road is designed for efficiency, but safety comes first. The speed limit is yet to be officially announced, so watch out for signage and adhere to posted limits.
More Than Just Speed: The project aims to be more than just a faster route. It's expected to decongest existing roads, improve air quality, and boost coastal tourism.
Stay Updated: Keep an eye on local news channels and official government websites for the latest information on the complete opening, speed limits, and any additional entry/exit points.
This is a landmark moment for Mumbai's infrastructure, and it's sure to have a significant impact on the city's traffic flow and overall development. Buckle up, Mumbai, it's time for a smoother ride.
