The Coastal Road is seeing a steady pattern of vehicular flow with the morning hours witnessing the maximum traffic flow on the southbound route. While the daily flow is between 18,000-20,000 vehicles, around 40 vehicles cross the tunnel within a minute during peak hours. The maximum number of vehicles travels between 9 am and 1 pm, accounting for more than 40 per cent of traffic flow.

The coastal road was partially opened on March 12 for southbound traffic. The lanes of the Coastal Road from Worli (Bindu Madhav Thackeray Chowk) to Marine Lines are open to commuters between 8 am and 5 pm, and between 8 am and 8 pm from other entry points like Copper Chimney restaurant and Amarsons Garden. The road is closed on weekends so that the remaining work can be completed.
