The BMC is looking for answers to tidal water entering the Coastal Road’s pedestrian underpass at Haji Ali. An official said that the cracks on the road near the tunnels seem normal due to the shrinking of cement. It will be taken care of. Photos of tidal water entering the underpass and cracks went viral on social media.

A civic official did say that high tide days mean seawater enters the underpass, necessitating its closure. The level of the underpass cannot be raised as it has to be on the same level as the Haji Ali pathway. Still, measures like creating a hump at the mouth of the pedestrian underpass, a stormwater drain and a pumping arrangement will solve the issue to some extent during monsoon. The work is currently ongoing.
