While stretch itself is a breeze, entrance to and exit from the road still have the typical Mumbai issues

Key Highlights
- The northbound arm of the Coastal Road may help to reduce travel time
- But traffic congestion at signals on the way to it remains a concern for commuters
- The northbound arm was opened up to the public on Monday evening
The northbound arm of the Coastal Road may help to reduce travel time, but traffic congestion at signals on the way to it remains a concern for commuters. It took mid-day seven minutes to travel 6 km from Marine Drive to Worli intersection, but getting from Fort to Marine Drive via Princess Street flyover, a distance of 2.5 km, took 20 minutes. Again, after the exit point, it took more than an hour to reach the collectorate office at Bandra East which was 9 km away.
