While the world is seeing an unprecedented crisis with the pandemic, Mumbai, a very important island, and one of the most important cities in India is seeing a project that was only hitherto imagined. And who else, but none other than Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) is executing it.
On 8 June 2015, the coastal road project received its first clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests but received the final clearance on 11 May 2017. There is a long history to the coastal road and one that dates back to 1962, according to information available in the public domain.
Today, the 29.80 km Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP) is an under-construction access-controlled expressway with a route connecting Princess Street Flyover in South Bombay with Kandivali in the northern suburbs. In early July, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) declared that it has completed 36% of the total work of the coastal road project, against the 40% target it had set for completion by mid- 2021. But the pandemic had a large role in delaying most of the plans around the globe.
Total length:29.80 km
Cost of project:
Rs 12,721 crore
It also said that 90% of the fill, 68% of the sea wall, and 11% of the double tunnel have been completed. The work of coastal road is going on day and night uninterruptedly!” the BMC said in a statement.
The completed work includes about 470 meters (m) or 25% of tunneling work of one tunnel and reclamation of 105 hectares (ha) of the total 111ha. At present, the piling work, casting of piers and girders, construction of the ramp work at Marine Drive, and tunneling work are in progress.
