Along with the Coastal Road promenade, two underground parking lots with a total capacity of 396 vehicles will be opened to the public within the month. These parking lots are located beneath the Coastal Road promenade — one at the Bindu Madhav Thackeray Junction and the other opposite Worli Dairy. They can be accessed from Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road (formerly known as the Worli Sea Face).

A senior official from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) Coastal Road Department told mid-day, “Each parking lot has a capacity of 198 vehicles. The approach roads for both lots are from the Worli Sea Face promenade itself. They will be opened for parking at the same time as the promenade. The facilities will be handed over to the G South Ward office for maintenance.”

This space became available through land reclamation for the Coastal Road Project, and it was decided to construct parking lots as a public amenity. Four such parking lots were originally planned as part of the Mumbai Coastal Road Project — including a four-storey underground public parking facility at Haji Ali and another at Amarsons in Breach Candy —aimed at adding a total of 1850 parking spots across the city. However, due to opposition from Breach Candy residents, the construction of the parking lot there has been put on hold.
