Mumbai’s long-awaited sea-facing walkway alongside the Coastal Road is likely to open by mid-June. The 7.5 km long promenade connecting Priyadarshini Park at Breach Candy and the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link promises to be a paradise for Mumbaikars. The seaside promenade is part of the Mumbai Coastal Road project. It is spread over 17 hectares and comprises a 20-meter wide walkway covering 12 hectares and a 5-hectare central median. 70% of the promenade area will be dedicated to green spaces, while the remaining 30% will have walking paths, cycling lanes, seating areas, and public amenities. The government also plans to build a Miyawaki forest, musical fountains, butterfly gardens, yoga tracks, open-air gyms, senior citizen parks, children’s play zones, and open-air theatres. According to media reports, the entire 7.5 km stretch of the promenade will be opened to the public by June 15. Source:Freepressjournal
