The 136-meter-long girder will connect the coastal road and Bandra-Worli Sea Link distance and will have four lanes on the south side.
The coastal road between Priyadarshini Park and Worli is planned to be opened for traffic by the end of May. Work is underway at a rapid pace. A 2,000-tonne girder has been installed to connect the coastal road and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
The bridge between the Coastal Road and the Sea Link is 850 meters wide and 270 meters wide. This will provide sea-link connectivity to the coastal road at Worli. As a result, vehicles coming from Bandra to South Mumbai will not have to face traffic congestion where the Sea Link ends at Worli.
