The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has missed the July-end deadline to open the connector linking the Coastal Road and Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL). Due to the rainy season, many works are still pending and the connector is likely to be opened only in October.

The construction of a 10.5-km-long Coastal Road from Marine Drive to BWSL is in progress and a few phases are already operational. The southbound section from Worli to Marine Drive was opened in March while the northbound bound section started in two phases on June 10 and July 11.
