300-cr bridge to link Coastal Rd at Haji Ali with arterial Parel path
If it goes as planned, people travelling from the crowded areas of Parel, Dadar, Matunga, and Mahim could soon reach the coastal road near Haji Ali junction within minutes.
The proposed six-lane elevated corridor, currently a missing link in the city's east-west connectivity, will skirt along the edge of Mahalaxmi Racecourse and pass near the NSCI Dome. Officials from the urban development department said the project will not require any land acquisition, nor will it disrupt the existing flow of traffic during construction.
The viaduct will begin near the coastal road's entry/exit on Lala Lajpatrai Road, pass through open areas alongside the race track and stadia, and land near the E Moses Road end of Senapati Bapat Marg. From there, motorists will have seamless access to Gokhale Road, Lady Jamshed Road, Bhavani Shankar Road, NM Joshi Marg, and onward to key locations like Siddhivinayak Temple, Shivaji Park, Lower Parel, and Mahim.

Although the final project estimate is yet to be determined, the 1.5-km-long corridor is likely to cost Rs 250-300 crore.

The new link is expected to offer a major reduction in travel time -- by as much as 30 minutes during peak hours -- and decongest several traffic chokepoints.
At present, traffic coming from Haji Ali (via Tardeo, Pedder Road, Bhulabhai Desai Road, or the coastal road) must take a long detour through Worli Naka (via Annie Besant Road or Pandurang Budhkar Marg), Nehru Science Centre road, or Keshavrao Khadye Marg-Dr E Moses Road, loop around the racecourse and NSCI Dome to reach Dadar.
Southbound traffic from Dadar and Parel must follow the same roundabout route.
Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, whose office unveiled the proposal in coordination with the public works department (PWD), called the project a transformative move for the city's infrastructure. While implementing agencies are yet to be finalised, the plan has been received positively due to its promise to cut travel time and ease congestion without displacing people or requiring land acquisition.
Shinde said: "It is more than just an infrastructure project; it's a visionary step toward Mumbai's future. Our goal is to make the city traffic jam-free. This signal-free corridor will enable smooth, uninterrupted travel. We are committed to building a faster, cleaner MMR that respects Mumbaikars' time and space."

Top stocks to buy or sell today: Stock recommendations for July 7, 2025 - here's what brokerages are saying
Top stocks to buy or sell (AI image) Nuvama has downgraded its rating on Trent to hold from buy and cut its target price to Rs 5,884 from Rs 6,627. The analysts believe Trent Hypermarket (Star Bazaar) can become bigger than Westside and Zudio given the size of the food industry. Star Bazaar is focused on the company's branded products while Big Basket is relatively more expensive. There are no plans to merge these two businesses. Trent plans to add over 250 stores in all formats combined for FY26 and may add more depending on market conditions and availability of investable properties. However, current run rate falls short of management's aspiration of 25% growth over the next few years. Pickup in Zudio Beauty and the Star business can become the next big growth levers but these businesses need to stabilise before scaling up. Morgan Stanley maintained its underweight rating on Bank of Baroda with a target price of Rs 235. Analysts said that as expected in April-June quarter growth moderated. The lender's domestic loan growth moderated to 12.4% on an annual basis compared to 13.7% (below industry rate), while the domestic deposit growth moderated to 8.1% from 9.3% (also below industry rate). BoB's loan to deposit ratio of 82% is elevated and could weigh on loan growth if deposit growth stays muted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3.5, 4.5 BHK Homes starting at ₹4.89 Cr.* Hero Homes Learn More Undo Motilal Oswal Securities maintained its neutral rating on IndusInd Bank with the target price at Rs 800.

They also expect overall collection efficiency to decline by 20 basis points to 97.7%. Jefferies maintained its buy rating on Bajaj Finance with the target price at Rs 1,044. Analysts said they expect the NBFC major in April-June quarter would show a healthy growth despite softer market trends. And this growth is encouraging as it comes in a quarter when sales of consumer durables were down. The company's AUM growth may have been aided by better trends in other segments, including cross-sell of personal loans and SME loans. The NBFC major is also expected to show healthy asset growth, and its easing fund cost can aid earnings and valuations.
