The Standing Committee approved a proposed proposal of linking Mumbai and Western suburbs to the Eastern Freeway route and the proposed Rs 12,000 crore for the coastal road that is constructing the Mumbai Municipal Corporation for high-speed traffic. An early launch will be done from the Princess Street to Bandra-Worli sea link at Marin Drive. Since the planning to build the coastal road in the next four years, the residents of Mumbai will be rescued from traffic jams.

Although the state government and the Municipal Corporation have constructed more than 55 flyovers to reduce traffic congestion in Mumbai, the increasing number of vehicles has not diminished due to the increased number of vehicles. Therefore, the Congress-NCP alliance government had recommended in 2010 to study the coastal road project. Accordingly, on June 30, 2011, a joint technical advisory committee was set up under the chairmanship of Bombay Municipal Commissioner Subodh Kumar. After seven years of study, the project has landed on paper after the committee showed a green lantern.

The project will be undertaken by throwing sea coastline at a distance of 35 kilometers from Nariman Point to Malad-Marw. Among them, the Princess Street flyover will work from the 9.98 km long coastal road to the south end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Setu. Work tender process is complete, work from Princes Street to Baroda Palace will be provided to Larsen and Toubro and Hindustan Construction Company and HDC joint venture from Baroda Palace to Worli-Bandra seal.
