Fadnavis Is Thankful For The Announcement
The Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, expressed his happiness at the announcement. He said that a month ago, on March 16, he had requested that Shinde name this upcoming coastal road after Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
He thanked Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for accepting his request and announcing this on the birth anniversary of the Maratha warrior.
Apart from requesting this name, Fadnavis has also dropped two more requests. One is to name the Bandra-Versova sea link after Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The other is to name the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The upcoming coastal road is an eight-lane expressway. This project will connect Marine Drive to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli sea link. This project is scheduled to be completed in November 2023.
