Work on the first phase of the&nbsp;much-delayed Rs 14,000-crore coastal road project in Mumbai is&nbsp;expected to start by the end of this year, Municipal&nbsp;Commissioner Ajoy Mehta said today.
The municipal corporation of Greater Mumbai will implement&nbsp;the 34-km project in eight phases.

"We have invited Expressions of Interest (EoI) from&nbsp;interested parties and waiting for the pre-bids to come out.&nbsp;We are hopeful that by November or December we will be able to&nbsp;start the civil work on the first phase," Mehta said at a seminar in Mumbai.
He said the first phase includes a road from Priyadarshani Park to Bandra. It would provide an alternative to the existing traffic-clogged Western Express Highway.&nbsp;
Mehta said the draft Development Plan 2034 for the city&nbsp;is ready and by the end of this month it will be made&nbsp;public for suggestions.
The draft DP 2034 was first announced in February last&nbsp;year, only to be withdrawn two months later after being&nbsp;criticised for errors such as wrong reservations applied to&nbsp;certain zones and plots.
