Yesterday, ami
dst great show and festivity, the Bandra- Worli sea link bridge in Mumbai, India, was unveiled to the world.
After a long drought period of 10 years of waiting, the bridge finally came in to function. On its opening night, it was surely an absolute view to behold, royal and majestic. On this eve of its inauguration, the bridge was made to be lit up in the colors of the Indian flag.
Yesterday, on June 29, UPA chairperson President Sonia Gandhi and Union Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar inaugurated the Bandra-Worli sea link bridge at the public inauguration ceremony held at 3:30 p.m at the Mhada ground near Rang Sharda.
This 5.6 km stretch of the bridge is going to work wonders for the choking traffic condition of the busy city Mumbai. It will cut down on the traffic congestion substantially by diverting a huge chunk of the vehicles. From Wednesday morning on, commuters will be able to access one half portion of the bridge while the other half will remain under construction for the coming year. The 750 crore connector will connect the island city with the western suburbs and will cut down on time drastically too. This will offer an useful alternative to the people hailing from that part of town as previously the only other option that they had was the Mahim causeway.
It is a toll free freeway, which the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) engineers said was mostly because politicians were planning to gain popularity by the move. Hindustan Construction Company chairman and managing director Ajit Gulabchand said that the connector is going to be the next big landmark in Mumbai after the Gateway Of India.
