Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Minister Ashish Shelar, and Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha were present during the inauguration

The event was held near Bindumadhav Thackeray Chowk at Worli Sea Face in Mumbai

Following the inauguration, the road will be opened for traffic from 7 am to midnight every day from Monday, January 27, 2025

The newly constructed connector bridge now links both the southern and northern channels of the coastal road to the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link (also known as the Bandra-Worli Sea Link)

Vehicles traveling from the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link (South Channel) can now proceed directly to Nariman Point via the newly opened Coastal Road Connector Bridge

Similarly, vehicles from Nariman Point can now access the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link via the Coastal Road Connector Bridge, making it a seamless transition between these key routes

Traffic from the Bindumadhav Thackeray Junction to the Bandra Toll Plaza will now be diverted through the newly opened Gol Bridge, leading vehicles via the North Channel of the Coastal Road to the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link, instead of using the traditional C-Link Gate route

On Saturday,  Mumbai Traffic Police issued a notification regarding the updated traffic routes and speed limits for Dharmveer Swarajyarakshak Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Marg (Coastal Road)

The coastal road project has achieved a crucial milestone with the partial completion of the next phase

Starting January 27, significant changes will be made to the existing routes for smoother traffic flow, the police said
