Mumbai: New Arch Bridge Connecting Coastal Road To Bandra Worli Sea Link Opens Today

A key development in Mumbai’s coastal road project has been realised today (12 September) as one of the two arch bridges connecting the coastal road to the Bandra Worli Sea Link (BWSL) officially opens for northbound traffic.

This new bridge marks a significant advancement in the road project’s timeline and connectivity.

According to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the newly opened bridge will allow northbound vehicles to directly access the Bandra Worli Sea Link, bypassing the previously required exit at the Worli interchange. This development is expected to streamline traffic flow and reduce travel time for motorists.

The bridge’s opening had been delayed from its initial July schedule due to monsoon rains and technical issues, according to reports. Despite this setback, the new infrastructure is anticipated to significantly ease traffic congestion in the area.

The second arch bridge, expected to be completed by the end of the year, will not yet accommodate two-way traffic. Motorists heading towards Nariman Point will continue to use the existing entry points at Worli and Haji Ali until further developments are made.
