West Island Freeway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The West Island Freeway is an ambitious project to connect the suburbs of Mumbai with downtown Mumbai. The project envisions the setting up of multiple flyovers over the Arabian Sea. The first phase of the project, known as the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, is currently in progress, and links Bandra in the north with Worli to the south with a cable stayed bridge spanning the Mahim Bay. This development shall relieve the congestion on the Mahim Causeway, which up until now has been the only road connection between the suburbs and the main city of Mumbai on the western sea front. The toll charges is proposed to be fixed at Rs 38 for four wheel private vehicles and taxis.
The next stage of the project envisages the building of a freeway along the city's western sea board, and linking Worli with Nariman Point, via Malabar Hill. Additionally , this phase has now received environmental clearance too.
