The number of motorists using the partially open Coastal Road grew from 16,331 on Tuesday, the day vehicles were allowed on it for the first time, to 22,880 on Friday, a 40 per cent increase. Interestingly, the highest traffic count on all days is seen between 3 pm and 4 pm and not the morning peak hours when overall southbound in the city is at its peak.
The southbound lanes of the Coastal Road from Worli to Marine Lines are open to commuters between 8 am to 5 pm from Bindu Madhav Thackeray Chowk in Worli and from 8 am to 8 pm from other entry points like Copper Chimney restaurant and Amarsons Garden. On the first day, a little more than 16,000 vehicles took to the road. The number increased by around 10 per cent every day and reached over 22,000 on Friday. The road will be closed on weekends so that the remaining work of the Coastal Road can be completed within the timeline.
