In September, after the Coastal Road was opened to traffic seven days a week, data indicated that around 43,000 vehicles travel on it daily. Initially, when the Coastal Road project was proposed, it was estimated that it would accommodate 1.30 lakh vehicles per day upon completion. However, while the southbound arm connecting to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and some arms at Worli and Haji Ali are still under construction, officials believe these may not significantly impact the number of vehicles.

The 10.58-km Coastal Road, extending from the Princess Street flyover at Marine Drive to the southern end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, is almost complete, with an estimated cost of Rs 14,400 crore. During the preparation of the project report, BMC officials projected that the road would carry about 1.30 lakh vehicles on both sides once fully operational.
