The Rs 1634-cr 8-lane freeway would reduce the 40-minute journey to just 8 minutes. After almost five years of delay and disputes, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link is all set to open on Tuesday with United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Chairperson Sonia Gandhi slated to open the cable-stayed bridge built by Hindustan Construction Company (HCC). The Rs 1634-crore eight-lane freeway is expected to reduce the 40-minute journey for the commuters between Bandra, on the western suburb, to Worli in South Central Mumbai to just eight minutes.
