The Mumbai traffic police have suggested that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation open the northbound traffic on the Coastal Road on the weekends, prompting the civic body to discuss the same with consultants and contractors.

The traffic police received a grievance from the residents of the Bhulabhai Desai Road regarding traffic due to the closure. After receiving the e-mail on August 24, 2024, the traffic police wrote a letter to the BMC Coastal Road Department.
