After nearly four years, the fisherfolk community and the BMC seem to have reached a common ground, with the civic body agreeing to increase the width of a proposed navigation span — as part of its ambitious Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP) — to 120 m. Navigation span refers to the area in which boats can navigate their way in a water body.
The 10.5-km long coastal road is being built on reclaimed land with an aim to decongest traffic and connect Nariman Point with Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL) at Worli. At the Worli end, the BMC is constructing a traffic interchange to connect MCRP with BWSL.
