Coastal Road Extension Kicks Off in Goregaon

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has begun foundation work on a 1.2-km stretch of the Coastal Road Project in Goregaon, located outside the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) limits.

This stretch is part of Package B, which spans 1.66 km from Bangur Nagar to Mindspace (Malad) and plays a key role in Phase 2 of the Coastal Road Project. The northern phase aims to connect Versova to Bhayandar via a network of elevated roads, interchanges, and twin tunnels.

On July 9, 2025, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar visited the site to review progress. He emphasized that no work should be carried out in CRZ-designated areas. During his inspection, Bangar also reviewed other critical project sites, including Versova, Andheri, the Lokhandwala interchange, and Malad Mindspace, to assess the broader progress of the initiative.

The Coastal Road is being developed in six packages between Versova and Dahisar, with several sections traversing land and creek areas that fall under CRZ regulations.
