After seven years of seeing it boarded up and closed off for coastal road work, citizens will soon be able to walk along the Worli Sea Face again. The 7.5-km walkway, developed by the BMC between Priyadarshini Park and the Worli end of the Sea Link, will be open to the public by mid-June.

A major part of the iconic stretch has been closed off since 2018 due to the construction of the coastal road between Worli and Nariman Point, during which time the civic body also constructed the promenade. Senior officials of the BMC confirmed the update: “Most of the work is completed, we are trying to open the promenade by mid-June. The promenade has been designed with 20 underpasses, placed every 400 metres. This will give easy access to pedestrians.”
