Bandra-Worli Sea Link

The Bandra–Worli Sea Link (officially known as Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link) is a 5.6 km long, 8-lane wide bridge that links Bandra in the Western Suburbs of Mumbai with Worli in the South Mumbai. After the Mahatma Gandhi Setu, Dibang River Bridge, and Bhupen Hazarika Setu, it is the fourth-longest bridge in India. It has pre-stressed concrete-steel viaducts on both sides and is a cable-stayed bridge. It was originally intended to be a part of the Western Freeway, which would connect Mumbai's Western Suburbs to Nariman Point in the financial center. However, it is currently anticipated to be a part of the Coastal Road to Kandivali.

The bridge consists of three distinct parts: the north end viaduct, the central cable-stayed spans, and the south end viaduct. Both the viaducts used precast segmental construction. The cable-stayed bridge on the Bandra channel has a 50m-250m-250m-50m span arrangement and on the Worli channel, it has a 50m-50m-150m-50m-50m span arrangement. It took this bridge almost 10 years to be ready for usage, and now every day, about 37500 different cars pass through it. You'll be shocked to learn that if you add up the weight of 50000 African elephants, the resulting mass equals the weight of this bridge.
