Bandra Worli sea link - Bandra Worli sea link faces traffic jams
The Bandra-Worli sea-link, which was thrown open for public, experienced a huge traffic snarls with vehicles moving at a snail’s pace on the bridge. There was a traffic congestion on the sea-link due to a speed breaker at Worli exit point. The four-wheelers slowed down when they arrived this point. A sharp turn and a lengthy divider at Worli were a few other reasons attributed for traffic jams. With no toll till July 5, the number of vehicles using this bridge would be huge and traffic snarls are expected to continue at both the ends.
The Rs 1,600-crore (Rs 16 billion) Bandra-Worli sea-link, an alternative route to south Mumbai from the western suburbs, was inaugurated on Tuesday by Congress president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
Many people travelled for the first time on the bridge enjoyed their ride. But they also complained that it took 35 minutes to pass the bridge. People thought it would be like any other express highway and we would enjoy a speed ride, watching the sea. The experience was pretty good. It took 35 minutes to reach Worli from Bandra, thanks to traffic.
