The Mumbai Coastal Road kept its date with the city before the state and the general elections. State dignitaries inaugurated the project on Monday, amid fanfare, including a special city transport bus for women plying the new road.
Starting Tuesday, 9.5 km of the 10.58 km road will be opened to regular traffic. The full-stretch, with work at the north-end still underway, is expected to be operational by May. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis were present at the inauguration.
