Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde examined the stretch on Wednesday, joined by municipal commissioner Bhushan Gagrani and other top officials. Shinde remarked that the coastline road project is 91 per cent complete and asked the administration to complete the remaining work as soon as feasible.

The BMC sharing pictures from the inspection, wrote, "The third phase of the Dharmaveer Swarajya Rakshak Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Mumbai Coastal Road (South) Project, allowing for temporary travel from Haji Ali to Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan Road, and the Haji Ali's Arm 8 (from Lotus Jetty Junction to the main bridge at Haji Ali on the northbound lane) will be opened from tomorrow, Thursday, 11th July 2024, at 7 am."

Previously, on March 11, the BMC launched a 9.5-kilometer southbound segment of the Coastal Road connecting Bindu Madhav Chowk in Worli to Marine Drive. On June 10, a 6.25-kilometer northbound highway was opened between Marine Drive and Lotus Junction in Haji Ali.

The BMC-managed Mumbai Coastal Road Project would connect directly to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, cutting travel time between south Mumbai and the suburbs and improving the overall commuting experience. Construction on this enormous Rs 13,983 crore project began on October 13, 2018.
