Bandra-Worli sea link


Mumbai witnessed the opening of the Bandra-Worli sea link which had been in construction for more than a decade with lot of impending problems related to land acquisition and several environmental issues which halted the project. This is really a modern engineering marvel as this is been constructed with lot of effort which makes it the tourist attraction spot too with its long cables and the scenery surrounding it. The sea link is going to be opened only in four lanes and the rest four lanes will be opened after completing the work which will completely ease out the traffic problem of the city.
