The iconic Queen’s Necklace on Marine Drive in south Mumbai is now ready to welcome visitors and tourists. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has completed extensive restoration and development work as part of the Mumbai Coastal Road (South) Project, enhancing the infrastructure.

The project includes the restoration of a 1.07 km long walkway, which will provide seamless access for tourists. Additionally, a new 1 km long stretch, with a width of 10.56 meters, has been constructed for improved transportation. The road stretches between Princess Street Flyover and Mafatlal Club signal with a 400-meter interurban path.

The restoration project includes well-equipped visitor sitting arrangements that guarantee a relaxing visit. To stop further filling, the walkway beside the beach has been raised using beams and columns.

Tetrapods have been strategically positioned throughout the 590-meter run from south to north to reduce wave impact and velocity, ensuring the pathway’s longevity and safety.

The work on raising the pathways to provide adequate lighting is in progress. The new footpath, adjacent to the existing one, ensures that tourists have a high-quality walking experience without the need for additional filling.
