Bandra-Worli Sea Link

Because i do not have a photoblog, and don’t wish to have one, i share with you, my friendly blog readers, the photos here.. as you must have already observed..! :)

So this is about the much awaited ride on the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link that connects the two of the busiest places of the city.. Bandra and Worli… and does so extending along the Mahim Creek.

The photos are not at par with the expectations because- one: They are taken from a car… in motion.. two: Winds blew brutally so i was scared camera slipping off my hand.. three: it was RAINING!!

Googling can give you much better views and pics, i admit ! But these have come out of my camera, so i have an inherent right of sharing them… :)

The Welcome board at the Bandra-End of the Link.. There are controversies on with the name given… .. .. who cares !! :P

 

not to forget mentioning- this was the 25th of july.. designated to be ‘the day with second largest high tide..’

Takes you away, although for five min and 6km, from the chaotic city… A ride, worthwhile…

 

 

There lies the Mahim, Dadar, Bandra… the Mahim creek along which this is constructed…

 

it was that dark …. but a pleasant weather !!

The Mahim Creek…

 

The toll plaza, that’s at the Bandra-end of the link… We were crazy enough to buy a return ticket. :P hehe.. we started from Worli to Bandra… n then back from Bandra to Worli

pic taken from inside the car…

TAJ Lands End, Bandra… This too at the bandra-end of the link.

…..

again. taken from the car..

You just cant stop wondering about the Engineering… !

The another 4 lanes of the link are still under construction…

 

Goodnight/day!!!

@ varun- din quite hear or notice bout 'khadde' ... the drawback is that the approaching roads have formed botllenecks, esp at worli end..
