The mastic patches, which render the Coastal Road uneven and make for bumpy rides
Motorists are disappointed with authorities over the emergence of patches on the newly constructed Coastal Road, after a video capturing a bumpy ride from Mahalaxmi to Worli went viral on social media recently.
Netizens who shared the clip, along with photos, lamented on social media that Mumbai’s ‘$2B Coastal Road Project’ is already showing cracks and patches and that taxpayer money deserved better accountability. The cost of the 10.5-km stretch is Rs 13,983 crore and the project began in October 2018.
