Mumbai: 90% reclamation work for coastal road project complete, says BMC
Around 90 per cent of the reclamation works for the Coastal Road has been completed, BMC officials have said. The road will extend the coast up to 100 meters inside the sea.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has planned to reclaim 111-hectare area in the Arabian Sea which is 12 times the size of Oval Maidan at Mumbai’s Churchgate.
Of the 111-hectare land reclamation required for the project so far, the civic body has completed about 100 hectares.
The 10.58-km Coastal Road being built for Rs 12,721 crore is expected to be ready by the end of 2023. The road will begin at the Marine Drive to the South end of Bandra Worli Sea Link (BWSL).
