Coastal Highway Mumbai

Introduction
Dharmveer Swarajya Rakshak Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Coastal
Road is a partially opened 8-lane, 29.2-km long grade
separated expressway along Mumbai's western coastline connecting Marine
Lines in the south to Kandivali in the north. It is projected to be used by
130,000 vehicles daily, and is expected to reduce travel time between South
Mumbai and the Western Suburbs from 2 hours to only 40 minutes. The
estimated cost of the project is ₹13,060 crore (US$1.6 billion). Its first phase,
which is inaugurated on 11 March 2024, is a 10.58 km section from Princess
Street flyover to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.

• 6: Carter Road Mandir to Ritumbhara College Section.
• 7: Ritumbhara College to Kandivali Junction .
Section 1-(: Princess Flyover Road
.
to Priya Darshini Park)
• The first phase of the project is a 10.58 km section from Princess Street Flyover at
Marine Lines to the Worli-end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL).
• The phase includes sections of the road built on reclaimed land, bridges, twin
tunnels and 3 interchanges.
• The interchange arms have a total length of 15.66 km.
• It also involves building floodgates, a seawall/promenade, creation of green and
recreational spaces, and underground parking facilities.
• The project was estimated to cost ₹12,721 crore (US$1.6 billion), including ₹8,429
crore (US$1.1 billion) for the construction work.
• The remaining amount was for administrative costs and contingencies.
• It is the most expensive project undertaken in the BMC's history.
• The project cost escalated to ₹13,060 crore (US$1.6 billion) due to an increase in the
GST rate on construction from 12% to 18%, and the need to shift a water pipeline
that had not been accounted for in the original design.
Reclamination
• The Jt. Technical Committee recommended about 35.6 km. coastal freeway
comprising a combination of coastal roads based on reclamation, bridges,
elevated roads and tunnels on western side of Mumbai.
• The Committee recommended this coastal freeway system with two options of
alignments, both with a view to resolve the traffic congestion in Mumbai and to
enable creation of the much needed recreational open spaces.
• STUP has evaluated seven alignment options and Option 7 is considered as
final option for design after comparison of merits and demerits of each option.
• The constraints of the geography and the inability of the city to expand the
alignment option 7 has considered total coastal freeway length of 29.20 km out
of which 12.06 km is considered to be reclaimed road.
• The total area of reclamation will be about 122 hectares.
Tunnels
• The Coastal Road includes 2.07 km twin tunnels connecting Girgaon Chowpatty and
Priyadarshini Park.
• The north-bound tunnel is 2,072 metres long while the south-bound tunnel is 10
metres longer due to a slight curvature along the route.
• A tunnel was selected for this stretch over a sea link to avoid disrupting the view at
the Queen’s Necklace and Girgaon Chowpatty and to preserve the "heritage, the
look and feel of this place".
• There were also concerns that a sea link would create a security risk in Malabar Hill,
where the Raj Bhavan is located.
• The tunnels have an outer diameter of 12.19 metres and inner diameter of 11
metres.Each tunnel carries a 3.2 metre wide, three-lane road with 6 crosswalks, of
which 4 are for pedestrians and two for motorists.
• tunnels are located at depths of 14–72 meters below the surface.
Interchanges
• Interchanges will be necessary at all crossings of highway which are to be
developed as completely access controlled.
• An interchange may be justified at the crossing of a major arterial road with
another road of similar category carrying heavy traffic.
• We have studied the requirement of traffic interchanges at the major
junctions on project corridor as per IRC: 92-1985 (Guidelines for the design of
Interchanges in Urban Areas) and IRC: SP: 41-1994 (Guidelines for the Design
of At- Grade Intersections in Rural and Urban Areas) etc.
• These studies are the base for deciding many components like approach width
& exit width, approach & exit angles etc.
• However, the objective of the present study is to assess the Directional Traffic
volumes at the proposed interchanges Traffic flow diagrams for the twelve
interchanges separately for the base year (2014) and horizon year (2043) are
studied and given below.
Floodgates

• The BMC's stormwater drains department installed 16 floodgates at 4


locations along the Coastal Road. The channels extend 100 metres into the
sea and have a diameter between 2,000 and 2,500 mm.
Promenade
• The 70 hectares (0.70 km2) of reclaimed land left over after constructing the
Coastal Road is planned to be used for green and recreational areas.
• A 7.47 km long and 20 metre wide contiguous promenade runs parallel to
the Coastal Road, on its seaward side, from Priyadarshini Park to the Worli-
end of the Bandra-Worldi Sea Link.
• It is twice the length of Marine Drive, which is currently the city's longest
promenade.
• A total of 16 pedestrian underpasses (1 every 500 metres) between
Priyadarshini Park and Worli provide access to the promenade.
• The BMC proposes to build gardens and parks, a cycling and jogging track,
public toilets, an open auditorium, a butterfly park and other recreation
spaces.
Underground Parking
• The BMC constructed 10 bus bays along the Coastal Road for public
transport buses.
• The project also includes underground parking facilities at 4 locations
including Amarsons Garden, Worli and Haji Ali that can accommodate 1,856
vehicles in total

Project Benifits
• The proposed package will have the following benefits on the residents in
the Project locations:
• Improved quality of life by providing easy access to basic services and
various products.
• access to improved health and education facilities.
• Strengthening of economy by easy transportation of various materials of
daily use.
• Better earning opportunity along the upgraded road.
• Easy access to other locations  Better connectivity with other major
locations.
• Increased employment opportunities for the local population
Conclusion
• With the improvement of the road better connectivity will be ensured. Vehicle
Operating costs and vehicle damage in the area will be reduced.
• However, there would be an increase in vehicular pollution-air and noise, in the
vicinity of the road with the increase in vehicular density but the effect is not
significant.
• Linear development along the road in the commercial area is expected.
• Due to the implementation of the project deteoriating coastal shoreline will be
protected.
• Therefore, the ‘with’ project scenario, with its minor adverse impacts is more
acceptable than the ‘without’ project scenario which would mean an aggravation
of the existing problems.
• The potential benefits of the proposed road improvements are substantial and far-
reaching both in terms of the geographical spread and time.
• Hence, it is clear that the implementation of the project will be a definite
advantage to the people of Mumbai.
