Bandra-Worli Sea Link Mumbai Address : Western Suburbs-South Mumbai , Mumbai , Maharashtra , 400028 , India

The Bandra Worli Sea Link of Mumbai, which was officially named ‘Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link’, is 5.6 kilometres long, 8-lane architectural, engineering and infrastructural marvel of India. It is the first cable-stay bridge built on open seas in India.

The Bandra Worli Sea Link has become one of the prominent landmarks of Mumbai and has also made it to the top 10 Trip Advisor’s Traveller’s Choice awards of 2018, under the category of architecture and modern infrastructure structures.

When it comes to driving through Mumbai’s roads, the first thing that comes to one’s mind is the Bandra Worli Sea Link. The bridge was designed in such a way that it can allow a little over 37,000 vehicles per day.

The view and beauty of the bridge at night is a sight to behold as the stay cables are entirely lit and the vehicles running on the bridge make an amazing photo opportunity for all photography enthusiasts.

History of Bandra-Worli Sea Link Mumbai

Earlier, Mumbai’s central suburbs, main business district and the western suburbs were connected only by the Mahim Causeway. That being the only road connecting the two business districts of Mumbai, added to the woes of the commuters during peak hours when moving from one end to another took a minimum of 70- 90 mins. In order to reduce the inconvenience caused due to the traffic congestion at Mahim Causeway, the construction of a sea link was proposed.

The proposed bridge would connect Bandra and Worli, reducing the travelling time from 60- 90 minutes to 10 minutes. The Bandra Worli Sea link Mumbai was planned to be built over the Mahim Bay which would serve as the alternative route to Mahim Causeway.

The contract of the construction of the sea link was awarded to Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC). The management of the project was headed by the multidisciplinary consulting organization, Dar Al- Handasah, from their UK offices.

The then Shivsena supremo, Balasaheb Thackeray had laid the foundation stone of the sea link in 1999. What had started as a project plan with an estimated cost of INR 6.6 billion and to be completed in 5 years went downhill due to several public interest litigations. This led to the project being delayed by 5 years and costs soaring to a whopping INR 16 billion.

The Bandra Worli Sea Link Mumbai was the first project where the seismic arresters were used to make the structure strong enough to withstand earthquakes measuring up to 7.0 on Richter scale.

The sea link was finally opened to vehicular traffic in mid-2009 in June 2009, with only 4 functioning lanes out of 8. The fully functional sea link was opened by March 2010. The bridge was inaugurated by UPA Chairperson, Smt. Sonia Gandhi.

Architecture of Bandra-Worli Sea Link Mumbai

The marvel that Bandra Worli Sea Link is was built by Hindustan Construction Company (HCC).

The structure of the bridge is defined in 3 parts namely, the north end viaduct, the central cable-stayed pans and the south end viaduct.

The construction of the Sea Link was a joint effort of talents wherein engineers from all over the world came together to create a marvel that it is today. The construction was carried out in five phases, right from construction of the flyover above Love Grove junction in Worli to modifications to Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Road.

The seabed that fell under the route of the proposed bridge was surveyed even before designing the bridge structure. The geology of the seabed was a mix of basaltic boulders to volcanic tuffs to weathered fractured rocks and calcareous sandstone with thin bed of coarse grainy mix of the same.

Looking at the complex geology, it was clear that the design of the bridge pylons would have to be sturdy with a complex geometric engineering. This was the greatest challenge faced by the design team as they also had to match their design complexities with the aesthetics of the bridge.

As a result, the concrete deck span over the Bandra channel, which is also the main span, is the longest of the spans attempted, while the pylon towers have a complex geometry. A total of 0.1 million metric tonne of cement was utilized for the project. The Bandra end concrete deck span alone weighs 20,000 tonne and is supported by high- tension stay cables. The highest pylon towers measure 128 metres with their heights gradually decreasing in cross-section.

The viaducts on either side are the heaviest concrete-steel mix precast superstructure segments built in India using span by span method.

The length of the cable- stayed span portion towards the Bandra end measures 600 metres with a total of 264 cable stays and that of the Worli end measures 250 metres with a total of 160 cable stays.

Visit Bandra-Worli Sea Link

Gaze out of a window at superb views of the Arabian Sea and Mumbai’s skyline while traveling across the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. This emblematic modern landmark of the city stretches for 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) between south Mumbai and the western suburbs. Take a moment to ponder the jaw-dropping architectural beauty and enormity of this structure when you visit the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.

This curving cable-stayed bridge crosses Mahim Bay and connects the trendy Bandra West neighborhood with upmarket Worli. The eight-lane structure features seismic arresters that can resist earthquakes of magnitudes up to 8.0 on the Richter scale. The central, diamond-shaped pylons are 420 feet (128 meters) in height.

One of the most exciting ways to experience the Bandra-Worli Sea Link is to travel across it in a taxi. Going north you’ll be treated to open views of the glistening Arabian Sea and remains of Bandra Fort. On the southbound journey you can look over Mahim Bay and the skyscrapers of the Dadar and Worli neighborhoods.

Several city viewpoints afford uninterrupted panoramas of the bridge. Among them are the ramparts of Bandra Fort and Worli Fort, which are both free to enter. Colorful fishing boats sit in the waters below Worli Fort and present a striking contrast with the bridge’s modern structure. Dadar Beach and the BWSL Promenade, in Bandra West, are other notable vantage points.

The bridge is impressive both during the day and at night. Arrive before nightfall to witness as the setting sun turns the sky into a romantic scene of fiery hues. Then wait to watch as hundreds of bright lights illuminate the lanes and pylons and reflect elegantly in the bay.

Bandra-Worli Sea Link is open 24 hours a day and tolls are applicable. Note that auto rickshaw, bike and pedestrian access to the bridge is prohibited. Trains travel from Mumbai Central to stations in Bandra West and Dadar, from where you can continue by taxi.

The Bandra-Worli Sea Link, known officially as the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link, is a monumental engineering achievement that spans the vast expanse of the Arabian Sea, creating a vital link between two bustling neighborhoods in Mumbai: Bandra and Worli. Its sheer scale is awe-inspiring, stretching an impressive 5.6 kilometers (3.5 miles) in length and soaring to a height of approximately 63 meters (206 feet) at its pinnacle. This architectural wonder is a testament to human ingenuity, utilizing a cable-stayed design that combines strength, balance, and aesthetic appeal in a harmonious fusion of form and function.

The impact of this colossal structure on Mumbai's urban landscape has been nothing short of transformative. By drastically shortening travel time between Bandra and Worli, it has fundamentally altered the way residents and commuters traverse the city. What was once a laborious and time-consuming journey through congested streets has been replaced by a swift and efficient transit, a testament to the power of infrastructure to shape urban experiences.

Yet, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link is more than a mere conduit for vehicular traffic. It stands as a living testament to the indomitable spirit of Mumbai, a city characterized by its ceaseless pursuit of progress and modernity. The bridge's toll system, though practical, also serves as a tangible reminder of the investment, both financial and intellectual, that went into its creation. It is the infrastructure that demands to be seen, not just for its functional significance but for the sheer audacity of its vision.

As the sun sets and the city's lights twinkle, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link takes on a new persona. Bathed in a mesmerizing play of illumination, it becomes a beacon on the Mumbai skyline, its sweeping curves and towering supports casting dramatic shadows against the sea. This visual spectacle has made it not only a transportation marvel but also a beloved cultural symbol, featured in countless films, documentaries, and artistic representations, a canvas onto which the city projects its aspirations and identity.

Bandra Worli Sea Link Mumbai

The Famous Bandra-Worli sea link is also known by the name Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link. It is a cable bridge that connects Bandra in the west of Mumbai to Worli which is in the southern part of the city. This bridge has helped in saving a lot of time for the passengers who travel from Bandra to Worli and vice versa. The bridge has concrete steel viaducts on either of its sides which strengths its base. This bridge in Mumbai is a perfect example of the brilliant engineering works done by the authorities. We have seen some glimpse of this bridge in a famous Bollywood movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. It is considered one of the most unique parts of Mumbai where you can go for a long drive with your loved ones admiring the beautiful skyline and the majestic sea flowing underneath.

History of the Attraction

Initially, Mahim Causeway was a single route that connected the western suburbs to the central business unit of Mumbai. This route remained very much congested during the peak hours which created a lot of chaos. In order to ease this congestion, the western freeway project was suggested. The Bandra-Worli Sea Link which is a bridge over the Mahim Bay came out as the first proposal of the project which would be an alternative road to the Mahim causeway. The foundation stone of this sea link was first laid down by Bal Thackeray in the year 1999.

Getting There

The tourists can take a bus to the Bandra bus depot or travel by train to the Bandra Railway station. From here you can get any bus, taxi or auto to reach your destination.

Things to do and see in and around

The bridge becomes even more spectacular at night when the lights are all lit up and you see a complete new look of the place. It is an absolute perfect place to capture some lovely moments with their friends and family while you are on a drive with them.

The breeze blowing from the sea creates a more calming effect during your travel.

Opening/Closing Timings and days

The Worli Sea Link remains open on all days of the week for 24 hours.

Best time to Visit

A long ride on this famous bridge of Mumbai is best enjoyed during the rainy seasons when the atmosphere around is dressed up at its best.

Northern Europe & Baltic Sea

Celebrity's Journey to Moscow excursion

By psygist , March 7, 2012 in Northern Europe & Baltic Sea

Link to comment

Share on other sites.

I will be in St. Petersburg in June on a Celebrity ship. Having been there previously, we would like to do the Journey to Moscow excursion. Celebrity lists it in the shore excursion brochure for my sail date, but it has not been available for booking on their website. I have called Celebrity twice and both times was told that even though it is listed in the shore excursion brochure, it probably isn't being offered since it is not listed for pre-booking on the website. I have emailed Celebrity twice and received a different response. They responded that they were still working with the tour provider on the details and is not yet available for pre-booking. Anyone have any experience with this that could offer some advice? It's frustrating that cruise line agents can be so misinformed and inconsistent in what they tell us.

Having done this one-day trip to Moscow and back on another cruise while in St. Petersburg, I might be able to share some insight. First, from dealing with some Celebrity folks about Europe options, certain of them are limited in their personal experiences and knowledge about this part of the world. Shouldn't be this way, but it is. They know more on the familiar Carib options as that is what is both closer and for which they get more of their calls/question. If they haven't done it, nor is is clear on their computer screen, they can't be of much help.

Second, that excursion to Moscow has been "evolving" during the past few years as they have switched from doing it by air flights to connection by high-speed rail. On trips like this one that is more costly and highly specialized, you will probably need to "press and push" to reach someone who is more likely to know this somewhat of a "needle in the haystack".

It's sad that you've gotten the "run-around", but sometimes the staff is not as informed and experienced as you would like, expect and need.

Do you need any background info for what you would see and do in Moscow , how it works, etc.???

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Did a June 7-19, 2011, Solstice cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik . Enjoyed great weather and a wonderful trip.

What you said makes perfect sense. Thanks.

I also looked into doing this tour privately, but one tour provider informed me there were no available trains or planes to fit my ship's time in port. We will be there on a weekend so its possible that transportation does not run as frequent. I just wish Celebrity could get their act together and tell me definitively whether they will be offering the Moscow excursion.

If your cruise puts you into St. Petersburg on a weekend, that could be another complicating factor. Openings at certain places, rail schedules, etc., could be different for some days of the week. It is possible to do the Moscow trip by some private tour companies, but if there are any weather and/or scheduling complications, that could make things more difficult. Doing it through the cruise ship, makes it "their" problem, not yours!!

Doing the one-day trip to Moscow is very interesting and special. Lots of cruise lines do it now and have the practice down to a "science". BUT, that weekend timing could be delaying their finalization some on schedules.

I was able to book this for a June cruise in the past few days. If you look carefully in the fine print for the excursion, I believe it is because you have to begin the online check-in process since they need your passport/ID information before you can book this excursion. Try to do as much of the online check-in as you can, and I think it should appear for purchase.

It would be nice to know what the actual schedule for the Moscow excursion is. I don't believe it is actually 18.5 hours, but that is just to make sure that you can't book anything else on that day.

I was finally able to book the tour online. They just made it available for online booking the other day. I sure hope they reach the minimum number of guests so it isn't cancelled.

Not sure why it leaves at 9:30. If it indeed is an 18.5 hour tour, we won't get back until 4 am.

It looks like Celebrity edited the description to say that, for those excursions on a weekend, the actual tour will be shortened by about 2 hours due to less traffic on a weekend.

Terry (or anyone who has been on the Journey to Moscow excursion before):

Can you give me a little detail on the itinerary? The tour description says that we will have a walking tour of Red Square and the Kremlin, as well as visits to the Armoury and one of the Kremlin cathedrals. Was wondering what other Moscow sights we will get to see. Or will the rest be in the form of a panoramic bus tour? Any opportunity for souvenir shopping?

Thanks for any insights you can offer.

This was just cancelled for my cruise :( Didn't meet the minimum number of people interested in going.

There might be some options through private tour companies. We used Anastasia for our part in St. Petersburg, but she is doing these Moscow arrangements for friends, two couples, from here in Central Ohio, in late June. I would contact a couple of key, experiences firms such as Anastasia, see what she and others can offer to make this one-day train trip over and back.

soakedbythesea

You have probably figured out now that not only excursions, but many other things aboard ship are misleading, if not downright fraudulent. The ship crew, staff and clerks are all going to do pretty much what they want to, but not only on the Royal Caribbean's Celebrity brand, but almost all cruise ships - the captain can almost get away with murder. Aren't you glad you don't have to work on one of these vessels? Also make sure you don't get involved in any type of dispute, as even some crime gets swept under the ship - well, not all, like the Costa that crashed & tipped over, but not sure even then much will happen, as all passengers signed all their rights away before they got on board.

Hope you have enjoyed your cruise by now and maybe look back here on the board. About the only way to get any knowledge about the ships, excursions, etc. is through sites like this.

As we are sailing a year from now on Celebrity Constellation - Aug 12, we were wondering too about shows aboard, excursions (both ship and private), if you ever got to Moscow, etc. Please write to us at:

We will be in St. Petersburg in July and want to take Celebrity's tour to Moscow. Please let us know if you liked it or not and how long it was. This is going to be our second time in St. Petersburg but will like to take a private tour on day #2. Did you do something the day after your Moscow tour? We are traveling with our teenagers and worry about them being too tired :rolleyes:

Was it worth the price?[/quote'] We just did this tour and really liked it, but this was our second time in St. Petersburg. If this is your first time there I don't know if it's the best choice. You spend most of the day in airports and buses. Our meeting time at the ship was 6:45 AM, followed by a 45 min. long drive to the airport. Then we had to wait for a 10:00 AM one hour flight to Moscow. As you can see we arrived after 11:00 AM followed by another 30 minutes ride to the city. We were taken to the Red Square, to take a subway ride, followed by a coffee and tea break, then to the Kremlin armory museum (where we spend most of our time), also visited the Cathedral of the Annunciation, and back to the Red Square. Were only given half hour for shopping, followed by a really long dinner at a local restaurant. Our flight back to St. Petersburg departed half hour late, arriving at 11:30 PM. It took a while for the bus to pick us up, another 45 min. drive to the port and we were at our rooms by 1:00 AM. This means that if you want to see St. Petersburg the next day, you are going to be really tired. BTW, I'm not complaining, this tour was so popular on our cruise that they had two groups for the first time. Most of my friends were on that group and they had the worst time. Their flight left earlier than ours and although they were taken to more places than us, they ended up on a later flight and arrived in St. Petersburg after 12:30 AM. The problem was that the tour company knew that they were not going to make it on time to the bridges that connect the city to the area where the ship docks. The elevated bridges go up at 1:30 AM in the morning and are taken back after 5:00 AM. Can you believe that our tour guide made fun of the fact that the other bus was not going to make it on time? It was really frustrating for them to watch the bridges go up in front of their eyes. They finally found online a bridge that goes down for periods of 15 min. and were able to go back to the ship after 3:00 AM. Some of them couldn't make it to their tours the next day. Remember, this is Russia, if you don't make it to your tour the next day, you won't be able to leave the ship. My friends tried to take a taxi and catch up with us, but their visa stated a 9:00AM pick up time and had to stay on the ship. We liked our tour, but it is up to you to decide if it's worth it. The time that you actually spend in Moscow is really limited. If by any chance you are given a late flight on your way back, start screaming and demand an earlier flight. The tour company hired by Celebrity is going to buy the cheapest flights to make more money. Just my two cents. I tried to research this tour before our cruise and didn't find too much information. Hope this helps. BTW, I was concern about the planes used for the flights, if you are too, don't be. The flight was great and were even given a sandwich with juice or water. I do have to say that we felt that we were on a PanAm 1970's flight. The attendants were all really young, skinny and beautiful, wore heavy make up and complicated hair styles. I was also not impressed by either St. Petersburg or Moscow's airports. No restrooms close to the gates, two flights leaving at the same time through the same gate, just a mess!! Before our tour I couldn't understand how Edward Snowden could hide for such a long time on an airport, after visiting Moscow's international airport it just made sense. Hope you enjoy your Baltic cruise.

Thanks for the details. I was quite curious about it. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like you got to see so much there. Fortunately as you say it was your second time in SPB, so you can compare and see the differences between the cities. They are very different.

On our Celebrity cruise, it was sold out, but I didn't come across anyone who took the tour to find out their experiences.

drarill, I had to laugh at the comment about how Snowden was able to hide in the airport ... I had wondered the same thing, but now we know!! LOL

Thank you for posting your experience. You have given me a lot to think about. It just seemed like a good idea, now I need to think really hard about it. I would hate to have our second day messed up in SPB.

We did Celebrity's Journey to Moscow excursion in July 2012. We had been to St. Petersburg before so decided to do something different. Interestingly, this excursion had been cancelled on some of the previous cruises that summer as a result of not enough people signed up. There were about 20 people on our excursion.

In a nutshell, I recommend the excursion and would do it again, but there are some caveats:

1. I would probably not go to Moscow if this was my first time visiting St. Petersburg. SP is full of wonderful sites so I would spend my two port days there seeing all the city sites, including the Hermitage, as well as visiting one of the palaces outside the city.

2. If you go to Moscow and plan on taking a tour in SP the next day, be aware (as someone else posted) that the tour returns to the ship very late and you might have difficulty getting up early enough the next morning for your SP tour. Our flight didn't land back in SP until after midnight and we were unable to cross the bridges before they rose. We didn't return back to the ship until after 2am, but because we anticipated that this might happen, we booked an afternoon private car in SP. We actually ended up enjoying being out late in SP with the bridges up as our bus and guide drove us around the city late at night and it was a surreal experience, especially during the white nights of summer.

3. We thought the time in Moscow could have been better organized, allowing us more time to see Red Square and the Kremlin buildings, but we were prevented from doing so due to horrendous traffic around Moscow, a very long-winded local tour guide, and too much time spent stopping for a coffee break (which was entirely unnecessary IMO). We also had almost no time to shop and the time spent in Red Square was much too short. Again, I mostly blamed this on our guide who talked too much rather than allowing us free time to wander around. I ditched the guide and our group before we were actually dismissed for free time so that I could wander around Red Square and make a few purchases from a street artist (local art and crafts on the street are of high quality and inexpensive IMO).

4. The dinner, while served in a beautiful, elegant setting, was mediocre at best. Lots of alcohol, but I've had better beef stroganoff in a school cafeteria.

Having provided you with these caveats, I still would take the tour again. It was a fascinating and magical experience. From the very interesting airport and airplane experience, to having the opportunity to visit the Kremlin sites and Red Square, it was worth it for us. It was a whirlwind of a tour, lasting about 18 hours from the time we left the ship until we returned.

I hope this helps others make a decision about this tour.

3 years later...

I was finally able to book the tour online. They just made it available for online booking the other day. I sure hope they reach the minimum number of guests so it isn't cancelled. Not sure why it leaves at 9:30. If it indeed is an 18.5 hour tour, we won't get back until 4 am.

We are on May 21, 2017 Eclipse and want to do the same tour.

There are several trains per day even on weekends and holidays. If it is the weekend I would say you are better off flying as traffic will be a little better than on a weekday especially in the morning. There are probably several flights an hour. The train is modern and comfortable but not especially scenic.

Since you need a visa anyway you could also consider arranging a Moscow tour guide to meet you at the airport and arrange your own transport to Moscow. An airport taxi should be easy to arrange in St Petersburg or use Uber. Aeroflot tickets are easy to buy online.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
