THE HAJI ALI - MAHALAXMI PROJECT
A 30 m wide road divides 225 acres of the racecourse from the beautiful
westerly Arabian Sea.
The Haji Ali - Mahalaxmi Project aims to replace the single pedestrian
signal and bridge the divide with a 6 acre public park open to the
Arabian Sea on the West and to 225 acres of the Racecourse on the East
by providing a 700m underpass for vehicular traffic.

CREATING AN UNDERPASS
This would benefit not just the millions who throng the Sea face but also
those who visit the religious monuments of Haji Ali Dargah & Mahalaxmi
Temple.
Further, most of the buildings along the Sea face are Institutional &
Educational and would now have access to beautiful park landscapes
and the Sea free from vehicles, traffic noise, air pollution and
encumbrances. Access to these buildings is from the inner road and
hence unhindered.
This project can be achieved without land acquisition and/or reclamation
and with very little expense.
