The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has secured a major contract for construction of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project (MCRP) of a 7.75 Km road from Princess Street Flyover to Baroda Palace, and includes an underground tunnel passing below Girgaum Chowpatty, Malabar Hills and Priyadarshini Park. Up and down ramps from Marine Drive will connect to the underground road (twin) tunnel connecting to Package-01 of the project. Package-01 involves construction of a 3.82 km long, 8-lane highway over reclaimed land from Priyadarshini Park to Baroda Palace including interchanges at Amarson Garden and Haji Ali. The Haji Ali interchange will be a multi-level interchange inside Haji Ali bay providing connectivity to the existing Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road. The project is a first of its kind in India, involving sea front development to ease traffic congestion, and seamless connectivity between south and north Mumbai, with avenues for recreational and tourism activities.
