The Mumbai Coastal Road, officially named the Dharamveer Swarajya Rakshak Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Mumbai Coastal Road, is an eight-lane, 29.2-kilometre-long expressway designed to connect Marine Lines in the south to Kandivali in the north.

The project is nearing completion, with its only vehicular underpass (VUP) expected to open in May.

This underpass, located beneath Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road in Worli and stretching nearly half a kilometre, will allow vehicles to bypass congested intersections and offer direct access to the coastal road from Prabhadevi.

The underpass bisects into two sections, with one leading to South Mumbai, while the other arm, which is elevated over a bridge, will connect with Bandra. The new link is expected to reduce congestion at key intersections and will also cut down travel time from two hours to less than 40 minutes.

Mumbai’s Coastal Road’s only Vehicular Underpass (VUP) is ready and likely to open to traffic next month. The length of this underpass is 550 metres. It runs beneath a section of the arterial Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road in Worli. This

The 4.5-km-long and 17-m-wide Sewri-Worli connector is also nearing completion, with its ramp ending before the JK Kapur Chowk, enabling motorists to connect with Marine Drive or Bandra via the coastal road.

The vehicular underpass is the only underpass of the project. The Coastal road also features more than 16 pedestrian underpasses (PUPS) allowing for the safe passage of pedestrians towards the seaside boulevard.

According to BMC officials, the underpass has been designed considering the burgeoning traffic shortly. It will provide hassle-free access from the Sewri-Worli elevated corridor to either the western suburbs or South Mumbai.

A BMC official was talking to the Indian Express and stated,

“This underpass will complete the last missing link of the coastal road. The ongoing works are in the final stages, and they will be completed by early May, soon after which we intend to open the underpass for motorists. Once this tunnel is opened, motorists coming from Dadar can enter the coastal road directly, without having to exit from the Worli or Haji Ali interchanges,”

Subsidiary work like painting lane markings, installation of street lights, and plastering of the sidewalks is going on at a brisk pace and is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.

A viral video is making the rounds on social media and is spawning a heated debate on the etiquette that must be maintained while using public amenities. The viral video depicts a young couple who were engaged in sexual acts while travelling on public transport.

The incident happened on a bus travelling from Panvel to Kalyan, and a motorist recorded the indecent act by the commuters on a moving AC bus. The video showed the couple engaged in sexual acts in the back seat of a moving civic-run AC bus on Sunday evening.

The incident sparked uproar, and the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has ordered an enquiry against the bus conductor, who was duty-bound to prevent the incident. The conductor is facing charges of negligence and failing to intervene.

NMMC Commissioner Kailas Shinde has not responded to the controversy.

According to a statement by Anarjit Chauhan, the conductor of the bus where the incident happened is facing the heat for not intervening in the alleged despicable act. According to Anarjit, the bus was almost empty and was travelling from Panvel to Kalyan.

When the bus stopped at an intersection, the act of the couple, who are reportedly in their twenties, was spotted by a motorist who filmed the incident and sent it to some senior NMMC officials.
The act could face charges under the purview of Section 296 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which stipulates a jail term of three months and/or a fine of Rs 1,000 for any indecent act in a public place. The transport authority has not approached the police on the matter.

An obscene act in a public place can attract legal action. At the time of going to press, the civic body hadn’t approached the police.
