About Bandra Worli Sea Link
The idea for the Bandra-Worli Sea Link was first proposed in the 1960s as a way to alleviate the heavy traffic congestion in Mumbai. However, it wasn't until the late 1990s that the project gained momentum. Construction officially began in 2000, and the sea link was opened to the public on June 30, 2009. The project faced numerous challenges, including engineering difficulties posed by the Arabian Sea, environmental concerns, and the need for an aesthetically pleasing design.
