How is it possible to go around the world in Mumbai? Well, it is, through the 5.6 km long Bandra-Worli Sea Link. After all, the amount of steel wire used in its construction is equivalent to the circumference of the earth?
Also called Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link, this freeway weighs as much as 56,000 African Elephants put together; 90,000 ton of cement was used in its construction. The total cost was around 16.5 billion.
Seshadri Srinivas, the architect who also designed Mumbai's JJ flyover, was able to finalize the design of this freeway in three attempts. This, indeed, has now become a marvel to look at, especially at night when its illuminated.
