Mumbai: Coastal road length increases from 9.98 km to 10.58 km
As it seeks to undertake additional reclamation in sea for the coastal road project, the length of the road is set to increase from 9.98 km to 10.58 km, the BMC told the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) on Wednesday while seeking clearances for reclaiming an additional 21 hectare.
The total reclamation requirement for the project as per the BMC has gone up from 90 hectare to 111 hectare. The coastal road, from Princess Street Flyover at Marine Drive to Worli or south end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, is set to cost Rs 12,700 crore.
In a meeting with MCZMA officials, the BMC said the change in length is due to consideration of curvetures and minor differences in ramp positions.
