As a trucker in the US, I can confidently say, Indian infra is better than what I see here. In terms of railways both freight & passenger, India has leapt ahead of the US, the dedicated freight corridor is an absolute marvel. Even the airports in the major cities are gorgeous. That being said, India still has a lot of catching up to do in other areas, but the coastal road project is impressive and will hopefully enhance the lives of the people of this marvelous city. thanks for posting.

Well I can see so many professional city planers in the comments bashing this project and saying it won't reduce the traffic congestion, adding lanes doesn't bring down the traffic but increases it. Just to let them know, Mumbai's main problem is that every truck/vehicle who needs to enter south Mumbai have to go through the entire city which increases the travel time by several folds and also the congestion. For city commuters there are 3 Metro lines available and many more under construction, there's mumbai local bus service so the government knows what they're doing

[@AERYS.]

No they don't. The traffic is made predominantly by personal vehicles, not trucks. By adding more lanes, more people will be tempted to drive and not use public transportation. This will lead to more traffic than what was there initially. You don't know what you're talking about. Stop following the government blindly.

[@evials9123]

@@AERYS. If people want to drive whats wrong with that? That just means people dont actually have interest in public transit, but only use it out of necessity

@@evials9123 Bro, if you ask people, most will say they want to fly a helicopter to work. Imagine a city with 3 million helicopters. Car ownership in inefficient in cities, so people should be told not to drive in an extremely dense city. Imagine Mumbai with 20 million cars in it's city centre. It would absolute chaos, and that's the direction we are running today.

@@evials9123 Haha. That's why American cities does not appear on the most livable cities. Public transportation is really bad in the US. People don't let children play in the streets because it's dangerous. America is the worst example to build a city out of. We are not America. It's much bigger than India and has lower population. If we go the American way, our streets will be much much more worse than US cities.

0:20 - 1.6 BN USD "jaw dropping investment" is not quite the case - there are a huge number of projects currently in progress in Mumbai itself which far exceed that amount. Just the Mumbai Trans-Harbor Link is 2.2 BN USD. The new airport, the DME, the bullet train project etc etc are all huge projects.

[@gowthamanjaiganesh3210]

India should keep on building. The current Modi Govt has increased building speed of Infrastructure at the fastest pace ever. We should keep on building bigger roads and metro trains and underground rails and more parks and open spaces. Coastal road will Transform Mumbai and will reduce traffic in the city. Im from Chennai just love how Mumbai is building some of the greatest infrastructure in the world.

[@devamjani8041]

Apart from this, Mumbai is also getting 1) Connectivity to Dedicated freight corridor 2) An entire new tunnel system for water supply. Very few people know about this but this is also a mega project. 3) More metro lines. 4) Delhi Mumbai Expressway ( ofcourse ) 5) Mumbai Pune missing link project. 6) Mumbai Ahmedabad High Speed Rail project. 7) Samruddhi Mahamarg Expressway. Etc etc etc Maharashtra people must NOT vote in congress or uddhav thackray as they will stop all these infra projects and spend money on freebies.

People don't buy cars in anticipation of more roads; rather, cars have become a fundamental necessity for every family today. Therefore, the development of a good infrastructure is essential to alleviate the growing traffic congestion.

[@mariosphere]

​@@harshmunhet_2001 It's not as easy as it seems. An example from my city: Many people commute to the next larger city by train because it is faster and more attractive than on the congested highway. The highway is currently being expanded. What happens: After the widening, traffic flows. This means that many people are switching from trains to cars. Where does this lead? The highway is clogged again - simply with more cars in more lanes.

[@kumarabhishek1064]

India has a population of 1.4 billion people and Mumbai has 30 million people. Fearing the number of cars would increase with increase in road capacity is paradoxical assumption. A city of that capacity requires this kind of infra to keep pace else it's current infra would collapse and lead to catastrophic disaster. More reasonable solution would be to increase number of satellite cities around metro cities in India.

You are correct at some extent, but remember that India is currently focusing on industrialization. Govt simply does not care for anything unless we see a major change in traffic flow and reduce congestion. Also, along with roads, India is on its way to build 2nd largest metro network. Simply putting, transportation and connectivity is the priority. No one criticizes China on this, they have massive roads, massive rails, blocking coasts many times often. Thing is that countries focus on lifestyle ecosystem priorities after they become developed. We are no europe, India is very much populated. Maybe 100 years later we might have to rebuild the roads differently, but by that time we will have money.. And our focus will be on ecosystem the most..
