Mumbai's Mega Coastal Road Phase-2 Gets Big 'Thumbs Up' From Commuters

Excited Mumbaikars gave a broad smile and a big ‘thumbs up’ as the second phase of the Mumbai Coastal Road (MCR) was thrown open for motorists – a day after Chief Minister Eknath Shinde inaugurated it with a drive in a 94-year-old vintage Rolls Royce beauty.Scores of vehicles were seen entering the south-north arm of the MCR at Marine Lines and the motorists were pleasantly surprised to complete the commute till Haji Ali junction in barely 8 minutes flat – a far cry from the agonising nearly one hour it took till yesterday.
