The Bombay High Court on Wednesday questioned if the court could consider issues related to the layout and design of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project even as the BMC said that nearly 80 per cent of the work was over and it was not feasible to make such changes at this stage.

A division bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Arif Doctor was hearing a petition filed by city-based architect Alan Abraham seeking changes to the design of the portion of the Coastal Road (south) coming up on reclaimed land to create more accessible open spaces, without fundamentally altering the project.
