Sea wall built with natural rocks can sustain the pressure of high tide
The Mumbai Coastal Road can tackle the heaviest rain and highest waves, the BMC has claimed. The road is almost six feet higher than the existing sea road, and can face the highest level of tide with storm surge.
The Coastal Road is being constructed from Princess Street flyover to the southern end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The project includes four-plus-four lanes, bridges, elevated roads and tunnels. About 75 per cent of the work has been completed. But, many have raised concerns about whether the road will sustain for over a hundred years.
