Mumbai: From Friday midnight, Mumbai Coastal Road will be open for traffic round the clock. Currently, the stretch is operational for 19 hours — from 7am to 12am. Additionally, the sea-facing promenade and pedestrian subways, which are part of the coastal road starting from Napean Sea Road to Worli, will be inaugurated during an online event at MMRDA headquarters on Thursday, but will be accessible to Mumbaikars from Friday 4.30pm. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and his deputies Ajit Pawar and Ekanth Shinde are expected to attend the inauguration.
