India opens the gates of its first sea bridge

Tuesday, 30 June 2009, 04:53 Hrs
Mumbai: Nearly five decades after it was conceived, India's first sea bridge opens its toll gates in the country's commercial and entertainment capital later Tuesday, promising to cut travel time by 80 percent to just eight minutes, bypassing 23 traffic signals that commuters have to presently endure.

Called the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL), the 5.6-km bridge on the Arabian Sea has cost 1634-crore ($325 million) and the authorities hope to see some 150,000 vehicles use it each day for a toll that ranges between 50 and 100 per trip depending on the size of the automobile.
India opens the gates of its first sea bridge


United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi is slated to inaugurate the gleaming new sea link, which has been billed as an engineering marvel and the most prestigious project for the Maharashtra State Road Development Corp (MSRDC) in over a decade, after the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

And Mumbaikars are visibly excited, including a galaxy of actors, corporate honchos and the everage commuter, as the sea link has surpassed all other projects of the state-run firm in terms of its sheer beauty, grandeur and the attention that it has grabbed from the whole country in the past few months.

"Last night, I specially went on the terrace of our eight-storied building to watch the laser show and the fireworks," Helen, well-known actor and dancing star of yester years, told IANS.

"I have read a lot about how it will solve the traffic problems in Mumbai. I plan to go for a drive there soon," added her husband and legendary scriptwriter Salim Khan, whose apartment facing the Arabian Sea is right opposite the sea link.

In fact, several Bollywood personalities - Shah Rukh Khan, Rekha, Subhash Ghai, Farhan Akhtar, A. Krishnamurthi and others - live on the promenade facing the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and most get either a balcony view or a terrace view of the magnificent bridge.

"We have been seeing the bridge come up from the construction stage and are happy that it is finally completed. It will be a great boon to the city," said Krishnamurthi, head of Tina Films International, who can view it from the comforts of his living room.

Businessman Pratap S. Bohra, who lives in Juhu, said he had long abandoned his office in Nariman Point on account of the time wasted in the traffic.

"We kept hearing about the sea link. Now that it is ready, I am seriously planning to attend my office in south Mumbai. We hope the second phase from Worli to Nariman Point will be taken up soon," said Bohra, who opened another office in Santacruz, a western suburb.

Others like Priyanka Uke, an executive living in Dadar, plans to commute daily on public transport using the sea link to Andheri. "I am dying to go as soon as the bus routes that will go via the sealing are announced," she said.

Some, like jeweller V.S. Shrikrishna, are disappointed that two-wheelers shall not be permitted on the sea link. "To save time, I may go by car. But then again, I have to shell out a toll," he said, a tad confused about his commuting plans.

A commuter by car, for instance, would have to pay toll of 50 for a single trip, 75 for a round trip, 125 for a daily multiple-entry-exit pass and 2,500 for a similar pass for a month. The toll may be hiked in the future.

Well-known advocate J.P. Mishra is another who plans to make full use of the BWSL.

"It's simple. Until now I used to go by train for hearings in the Bombay High Court. Now I can take my car and go by the bridge. It's more convenient as I don't have to wait for taxis after getting off the train," Mishra said.

For the past three nights, the state-run company had built up the tempo for the bridge's inauguration with spectacular multi-colour laser shows and fire works that was visible from long distances from the northern, western and southern parts of the city.

11: Bandra Worli Sea Link: Hi-tech incompetence
1 Jul 2009, 1315 hrs IST, ET Bureau


Many people celebrated the opening of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link in Mumbai, India’s first cable-stayed road bridge across the sea.

In fact, it is a

classic example of how not to do city or project planning. What was supposed to be a Rs 300-crore project completed in 2004 actually cost Rs 1,600 crore and was completed five years late. Supposedly it will reduce the 40-minute car journey from Bandra to Worli to seven minutes, but in practice it will lead to traffic bunching at both ends of the link, and become a nightmare during rush hour.

Mumbai needs at least one and preferably two ring roads, partly elevated and partly offshore, be linked by a trans-harbour bridge to Navi Mumbai, and have no traffic signals so that traffic can move at high speed, getting off at various exit ramps into different sections of the city. Beijing has seven such ring roads, but India has none.

The Bandra-Worli link is a short stretch that does not even cover the western shore, as envisaged two decades ago. It took ages because of design changes and payment disputes. The trans-harbour bridge creek has been bid for twice yet not awarded to anybody. Nobody takes a holistic view of the city’s traffic needs because of the politics and money involved in alignments, land acquisition and contract placements.

Nevertheless, some people celebrate the Sea Link saying something is better than nothing: “Why expect too much, we are like that only.” Yet plenty of things in India are world class. Infosys and TCS could not have got where they are today by doing projects five years late and at five times the estimated cost. We have world class manufacturing companies like Tata Steel and Bharat Forge.

It is simply not true that Indians cannot do things well. The first step towards holistic town planning may be legislative change that gives cities strong mayors with substantial budgetary resources, who can carry through major initiatives. We do not have to be quite as good as China, which has built seven sea links in the last six years. But we can surely do better than the Bandra-Worli project.

12:I completely agree with u Mukesh. the sea link came up coz now it had become inevitable for our politicians to evade/delay the matter further. And who doesn't recognize the fact that they are even trying to earn some name 4 themselves & their parties & even name the sea-link after some corrupt leader of their respective political party. bastards!
Why cant we have names based on geography or indegenious feature of a place or something like that?

33: Yes, I agree that Pambam Bridge is probably India\'s first sea bridge. It is over 50 years old. It was damaged during 1964 cyclone but was quickly repaired. Bandra Worli bridge may be a beauty but Pambam Bridge also beautifully merges with sylvan surroundings and with pristine sea below.

41: Congratulations Mumbai! I am dying to travel on the Sea Link....but am also scared of the traffic jam which will caused beneath the worli flyover opposite Atria Mall...traffic from bandra will now come and converge at Worli with a already very busy red light at Haji Ali...so functionally we have widened the flow but not increased the width of the pipeline..i hope the great management skills of mumbaikars will not let this happen...

cheers! any ways

42:Well Pooja u r scared of the traffic... well already theres a lot of traffic on the day 1 and govt. saying it wud take 10 minutes frm banra to worli...well with this kind of traffic it takes 20-30 minutes... just a diff. of 10 minutes frm the normal route ... and frm 2day petrol n diesel prices hv been incresed by 4 and 2rs. respectively so i dotn think this project gv mumbai ne help other than then UPA who says it gonna profil mumbaikars ... but no its only gonna profit the Govt.

47: The Financial analysis,
150K/Day commuters are expected expected, if you consider Rs 65 average Toll on this bridge. The Yearly Income will be 74 Mln $. That means , the whole investment can be recovered within 5 years. (325/74 mlns) My Qestion is why the govt is not letting privet sector to take up projects on 10 years lease?. Within 10 years India will look like Europe.

Krishnamurthi and others - live on the promenade facing the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and most get either a balcony view or a terrace view of the magnificent bridge", why dont u try to give some useful information about the bridge structure, routes and traffic directions so that it will benefit the bridge users. Stop followings the fancies for every fantastic works....there may be numerous workers invloved in building this one. Try to thank them.....

65: This is good but there are thousands of broken wooden and bamboo bridges in rural India which makes the common man's daily commuting miserable,the government has to concentrate on the development of infrastructure of rural India also with drastic and tangible steps where more than 70% of the country's population languishes due to underdeveloped basic infrastructure...the country needs massive investment on infrastructure development both in villages and cities..and this is a good example..we need thousand more such innovations every where...

69: Just imagine how much corruption these politicians, government babus and contractors might have done. I bet this bridge in not built without corruption. I am scared of the quality of this bridge, future will tell but I pray for a long live of this bridge. Love for Mumbaikars.

Is that where terrorist come via sea and fire people at public places and modern India takes hours to get commandos to kill them! or is that where poor people dieing because of hunger and Modern India is building bridges!

74:Well dont doubt the qulity of the bridge. Since my dad was Work's manager responsible for certain parts of the bridge. He sacrificed his personal life to a great extent by going to office at dead nigt 2 or sometimes at 4 in the morning to oversee the work himself so that quality can be maintained.

81: This is not India's first sea bridge

Rameshwaram-Pamban bridge built 25 yrs before - is the first Indian sea bridge.
Posted by: ifo - 30 Jun, 2009

82:You are right, Who the Idiot is saying that this is the first bridge, it was there in the rameswaram already.

This Govt is simply making all stupid statements.

83: Good Job Mumbai. Suggestion - the bridge should have Standard Toll rates for ALL vehicles, no matter their size, it should also include 2-Wheelers, deducted by an automated, computerized prepaid chip stuck on the windscreen, somewhat like the SALIK Gate in the United Arab Emirates, deducting charges each time a vehicle passes under the toll gate. The UAE Charges AED 4/- per pass (approx. INR 50/-) through the gates. The UAE also limits the maximum amount charged per day to AED 24/- So multiple passes get rewarded instead of being penalized. This way, the enterprise would make profits, at the same time be fair to users. Charging by the size of the vehicle is overly ambitious and maybe a little too capricious - I think. Remember the charges are PRE-Paid (online faclity, login, recharge to be provided) which means cash in hand in advance and interest to be earned. More Power to Mumbai and Good Luck. Cheers.
