Traffic planners believe the underpass will significantly decongest key stretches of Worli, reducing bottlenecks and travel delays during peak hours. The underpass will offer two onward options—towards Bandra or southbound to Marine Drive and Nariman Point—creating a seamless link across the city’s major arterial routes. The tunnel is part of Mumbai’s broader efforts to improve urban mobility and is being closely integrated with the ongoing Coastal Road project. According to civic authorities, this connection will optimise vehicle flow and complement existing elevated and coastal infrastructure.
The new link also reflects a strategic shift towards underground urban solutions in a densely built-up city like Mumbai, where land availability for road expansion is limited. Commuters and urban planners alike see this as a step forward in tackling one of the city’s most persistent civic challenges.
