The first phase of Mumbai's ambitious coastal road, from <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/marine-drive-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Marine Drive</a> to Worli, will be operational by the end of January 2024, said Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday.
Speaking at an event here, Shinde called Maharashtra a growth engine which has the most number of infrastructure projects in the country.
The coastal road, being constructed by the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/brihanmumbai-municipal-corporation--articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation</a> (BMC), proposes to connect the Marine Drive area in south Mumbai to Kandivali, a western suburb, via the existing Bandra Worli Sea Link. It is expected to ease Mumbai's northbound traffic.
The first phase of the project is a 10.58-km stretch between Marine Drive to Worli in south Mumbai.
The Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL) project from Sewri to Nhava Sheva will be ready by this month, the CM said, adding that it will help citizens cover a distance of 22 km in 15 minutes which now takes about two hours.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is the implementing authority for the six-lane MTHL project, financed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
"After our government came to power, we reopened all the projects that were delayed," Shinde said.&nbsp;
