A section of the Mumbai Coastal Road (MCRP) is set to become India’s first ‘musical road’, offering motorists a rare yet enriching experience as they drive through the path.

Point to Worli will be treated to the tune of ‘Jai Ho’, the Academy Award-winning song from the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire.

“The tune ‘Jai ho’ has been chosen as a dedication to the nation and also as it infuses a feeling of patriotism in people”, said a civic official, as quoted by Hindustan Times.

\n\n

The musical road, part of the city’s traffic-free Coastal Road corridor, focuses on blending technology with entertainment, making driving along the stretch enjoyable. This marks only fifth such musical road in the world and the first in India.

\n\n

The initiative is set to be inaugurated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today at 12:30 P.M.

About Mumbai Coastal Road Project

The Mumbai Coastal Road Project aims to enhance connectivity and curb traffic congestion in the city.

The 29.2 Km road, officially known as Dharamveer Swarajya Rakshak Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Coastal Road, stretches from Marine lines in South Mumbai to Dahisar in the northern suburbs.

The coastal road, estimated to cost about Rs 14,000 crores, is expected to significantly cut down the travel time between South Mumbai and suburbs.
