While the budget hasn’t mentioned any new projects, there is a substantial provision for pending work from the last few years .

Coastal road extension

The part of the coastal road from Priyadarshini flyover to Worli will be completed this year. The next part from Bandra to Versova has been taken over by MMRDA. The BMC will now float tenders for Versova to Dahisar coastal road. “The cost of the project is Rs 9,000 crore and tenders will be floated in April. Also, preliminary work of elevated road from Dahisar to Bhayandar has started. The cost of the project is Rs 4,000 crore and MMRDA has promised to reimburse it in future as they do not have funds right now,” said Chahal.
