| Project Detail : | To enable seamless connectivity from Dadar West and Mahim to Coastal Road via Bandra-Worli Sea Link, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), has decided to construct a new bridge at the Mahim-end of Senapati Bapat Road (ahead of Mahim railway station) involving an investment of ?150 crore. The bridge will be built over Mahim Causeway and will run between Fishermen Colony in Mahim and the Western Express Highway (WEH) thereby reducing travel time at peak hours by at least 30 minutes. Due to congestion, access to Sea Link or the WEH while coming from Senapati Bapat Road at Mahim takes about 30 minutes for a stretch of one km. Touted as a megaproject that will ease traffic along the arterial road connecting the western suburbs and the island city, the 10.58-km-long Coastal Road is set to be completed by November next year. It will connect Nariman Point to Sea Link, and is estimated to reduce the travel time by 70%. The total cost of the project is ?12,700 crore, while the cost of construction is ?8,429 crore. The length of all 18 interchanges for Coastal Road is 15.66 km
