Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has inaugurated the second phase of the Dharmveer Swarajya Rakshak Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Coastal Road, connecting Worli and Marine Drive. This 6.25 km tunnel, stretching from Haji Ali to Amarsons, will cut travel time between Worli and Marine Drive from 40-50 minutes to just 8 minutes. Advanced technology has been used in the construction of this tunnel.
The northern arm of the coastal road, operational from 7 am to 11 pm on weekdays, joins the south-bound arm opened in March, currently serving vehicles between Worli and Marine Drive.
