In 2009, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link heralded the start of several infrastructure projects in the financial capital
In the early 2000s, driving from Bandra to the southern parts of Mumbai was at least a 30-minute struggle. That changed in 2009 when the Bandra-Worli Sea Link brought the suburbs closer to the city. It now takes just 10 minutes to get from Bandra to Worli.
