The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has commenced the foundation work on a 1.2-km stretch of the Coastal Road Project in Goregaon, which lies outside the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) limits.
This segment forms part of Package B, covering a total length of 1.66 km between Bangur Nagar and Mindspace (Malad), and is a critical part of the second phase of the Coastal Road Project. The north phase of the project is designed to link Versova in the western suburbs to Bhayandar, encompassing elevated roads, interchanges, and twin tunnels.
On 09 July, 2025, Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar conducted a site inspection to review the progress and instructed officials to strictly avoid initiating work in CRZ-designated areas. He also visited multiple other project sites, including Versova, Andheri, the Lokhandwala interchange, and Malad Mindspace, to assess progress across various components of the mega infrastructure initiative. The Coastal Road is being constructed in six packages between Versova and Dahisar, with a substantial portion traversing both land and creeks under CRZ jurisdiction.
