BMC may impose Coastal Rd toll ahead of Feb '24 opening

The BMC is considering imposing a toll for motorists using the Coastal Road, which was initially planned as a toll-free road. Some experts support the toll to cover the project's high capital expenditure, while others argue that it would be unfair to levy a toll on a road that was supposed to be free. The first phase of the Coastal Road is 82% complete and will open in February, but toll collection would require government approval. Proponents of the toll argue that it is justified given the cost of the project, while citizens express concerns about adding to their tax burden.
