Mumbai - City Highway across Bay

[GaryinSydney]

Hi, today i saw an episode of Nat Geo Megacities on Mumbai in which an amazing highway across the sea/bay was being constructed.

Does anyone have any pics or links to updates on this project - i don;t know how old the TV show was?

Thanks,

Hey, I saw the same episode yesterday too, it was very interesting.
Unfortunately I can't find any recent pics either, there are some in this thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=352108&page=3), but they are quite old (aug 2006).
This one is very nice:

From the looks of it, it seems like that highway will really change the city for the better.

folks, that is indeed an important project for Mumbai, although I would not call it a highway project, but more of a really long bridge project. Its called the Bandra-Worli Sea Link Project. I think it is still an year before the project is completed.

The Indian section has a thread here:

In fact, we have a forum member who is an engineer working on the project!

Here are some newer pictures -

india is doing a great job. investing in infrustructure is the key to the country's full development. once the bridges/roads get done, they'll be there for centuries to serve the country.
