Mumbai, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced the reopening of the 1.1 km long promenade along Marine Drive, which was earlier closed for coastal road work.
After the completion of the South to North phase, the footpath from G D Somani Chowk to Savitribai Phule Girls Hostel is now open for pedestrians.
The road along Marine Drive has been extended by 10.6 meters from Princess Street flyover to Mafatlal Club signal. An additional service road adjacent to the Princes Street flyover provides access to the northern tunnel.
To reduce the impact of sea waves, the civic body has installed tetrapods. It has provided seating arrangements and street lighting for the area.
However, not everyone was happy with the return to the promenade after a long hiatus. Some people went to X to express their frustration about the notable absence of trees in the area.
