Mumbai, May 25 -- The seventh and the final segment of Mumbai's Coastal Road project - a 550-metre vehicular underpass connecting Prabhadevi to Worli - is set to open by the end of May. This final stretch will offer seamless entry onto the Coastal Road and enhance traffic flow and connectivity in the city. Fifteen days after the underpass opens, the Coastal Road itself will be accessible to traffic 24x7, with construction-related vehicular movement ceasing as the promenade nears completion. "The underpass is ready, and we've approached the RTO for a formal opening date," said an official from the Coastal Road department. "It will provide motorists coming from Prabhadevi and Dadar a direct route onto the Coastal Road via an entry point beneath Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan Road at Worli. The underpass merges into the Worli interchange, allowing vehicles to head either north towards the Bandra Sea Link or southwards." In the long term, the underpass will serve as a crucial connector between the Sewri-Worli link and the Coastal Road - part of the BMC's larger vision of a high-speed network of arterial roads across the city. Meanwhile, the Coastal Road's seaside promenade is scheduled for completion by June 15, enabling round-the-clock traffic movement and eliminating the need for construction vehicles on the stretch. In parallel, the BMC is also preparing to fill up the excavated pit at the site of the proposed underground parking lot near Amarsons Garden, behind Tata Garden. The two-level facility, designed to accommodate 246 cars, has faced strong opposition from residents of Breach Candy, who fear increased traffic congestion at entry and exit points in their locality. A Coastal Road official said the monsoon could cause water to accumulate in the pit, creating a mosquito breeding ground. With the parking project unlikely to proceed, they plan to refill the pit using reclamation material. Work has been suspended since October due to local opposition....
