Driving on the new Mumbai Coastal Road: GTO shares his experience

Exited on Marine Drive. Worli to Marine drive in ~6 minutes.

GTO recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Made a plan for dinner @ Souk, Taj last evening specifically to drive on the new Coastal road.

There are two entry points when southbound. One, a right-turn from Worli Seaface (main junction before Piramal-Ambani house). Unfortunately, it was closed off at 5 PM and I got there at 6.

No problem, we drove onward and got onto the Coastal road from Worli (junction after Copper Chimney). Man, what a drive! You climb up and have a beautiful view of the sea on one side (including the iconic Haji Ali Dargah) and the tall skyscrapers of this maximum city on the other. Merge onto a wide, well-laid road. Saw an exit for Bhulabhai Desai Road, but we of course proceeded straight into the tunnel. I must say, the undersea tunnel is very long and even has some kind of music playing!

Exited on Marine Drive. Worli to Marine Drive in ~6 minutes  The Marine Drive -> Worli section will be opening in a handful of months.

Proud of India. Proud of this beautiful city. It's so logical to have coastal roads around this Island City for better connectivity. I recently drove on the Atal Setu, India's longest sea bridge. And now, India's first undersea tunnel. The Atal Setu, Coastal Road, Bandra-Worli Sealink, Eastern Freeway, long JJ Flyover & more are true game-changers.
