The Maharashtra government has allocated ₹3,500 crore to develop the existing single-lane state highway (MSH4) into a concrete two-lane marine highway on the lines of the US pacific coast highway. After commissioning of the project, commuters will be able to ride on a 500-km scenic marine highway between Revas port towards Alibaug up to Redi port near Goa along the Konkan beaches and forts. The widening work includes the addition of 30 km of bridges over creeks and rivers. The project which has been in the planning stage for about a decade now, will boost the economy of the Konkan region which depends on orchard development, tourism and fisheries; a marine highway assumes significance to facilitate effective transportation. The current single-lane road runs parallel to the coast along residences and markets. The proposed development will increase the road's width of 18-20 metres to 45 metres which will ensure smoother flow of vehicular traffic.
