BMC Unveils Ambitious Landscape Master Plan For Coastal Road Development
The BMC presented a landscape master plan for the development of nearly 70 hectares of public open spaces along the coastal road on Thursday. The plans include integrating Coastal Road’s 7.5 km continuous promenade, dividing the open spaces into three zones: Green Shore, Nature Cove, and Park Line, Miyawaki forest and musical fountains.
The estimated cost of the project is around Rs 1,000 crore and is expected to be completed by December 2025. The southbound carriageway of the coastal road between Worli and Marine Drive was opened for traffic on Tuesday morning. While the northbound carriageway of the coastal road will be ready by May 2024. The tender for development of reclaimed area along the coastal road will be floated in June and the work is expected to commence after the monsoon.
