There have been concerns, mainly from environmentalists, but one wonders whether this bridge will set out to do what it intends to…which is save over an hour of a motorist’s time. Exit points at both ends can be problematic. And it costs Rs 50/- for one way (under 10 minutes) and Rs 75/- for a return trip the same day. The bridge has cost the country about Rs 1,800 crore.The cables used in the bridge if kept horizontally are EQUAL TO THE CIRCUMFRENCE OF THE EARTH THAT IS ABOUT 40000 KM AMD THE HORIZONTAL LENGTH OF THE BRIDGE IS EQUAL TO 63 TIMES THE QUTAB MINAR.The bridge has many other whopping statistics.Critics may say that it took too much time but it is a true marvel and enhances the skyline of mumbai and takes mumbai closer to the status of a truly world class city.Here are some images of the Bandra worli sea link.The first 3 are REALLY TAKEN BY ME!!!!!

and NOW SOME OTHER PHOTOS!

THE CROWN TO MUMBAI's SKYLINE!
The Bandra Worli sea link is meant to be an 8-lane
bridge with supporting cables but as of now only 4 lanes are complete.
Perhaps that is why two and three-wheelers are not allowed
and there was no sign of any heavy vehicles on the bridge either.
Speed is also restricted as of now, to 40 kms an hour, and this is also
temporary. It is India’s first cable-stayed bridge in the open sea and
should be finally complete within the year.There have been concerns, mainly from environmentalists, but one wonders whether this bridge will set out to do what it intends to…which is save over an hour of a motorist’s time.
