On October 9, Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished 30 structures obstructing the western side of the Borivali Connector as part of the Mumbai Coastal Road (North) project. This action clears the way for the project, which aims to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance coastal connectivity. The demolition was carried out under Package F, focusing on a 3.47-km elevated corridor between the Gorai and Dahisar interchanges.
The operation was executed with the aid of two Poclain excavators, two JCBs, and three dumpers. The site was overseen by civic officials with the support of five engineers and 20 civic personnel. Police personnel from the Maharashtra Housing Board Colony Police Station also ensured security during the procedure. The Mumbai Coastal Road (North) project, which includes the Versova-Dahisar-Bhayander Coastal Road and a 5.6-km elevated road connecting Dahisar to Bhayandar, is divided into seven packages for execution.
The entire project, including the costlier 20-km VDLR segment, aims to reduce travel time from 90-120 minutes to 15-20 minutes and cut carbon emissions by 55% through fuel savings.
