Bandra–Worli Sea Link, Cable-stayed bridge in Mumbai, India
This structure spans 5.6 kilometers (3.5 mi) across the Arabian Sea, linking Bandra in the north with Worli to the south through eight traffic lanes distributed across two levels, providing four lanes in each direction.
Work began in 2000 under the management of Indian firm Hindustan Construction Company, with international engineers from several countries contributing to the project, which opened to traffic on June 30, 2009.
This crossing reduces commute times between western suburbs and the business district, shaping daily routines for hundreds of thousands of residents who travel between different parts of Mumbai each day.
The crossing charges tolls ranging from 75 to 250 rupees depending on vehicle type and carries an average of 37,500 vehicles daily, with the journey taking roughly 10 minutes and offering particularly impressive views at night when the pylons are illuminated.
The construction required more than 90,000 tons (82,000 metric tons) of cement and used steel cables totaling over 560 mi (900 km) in length, enough to span the distance from Mumbai to Goa.

Mumbai is India's largest metropolitan area, combining colonial heritage with religious sites and modern cityscape. The architecture ranges from Victorian structures like Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and Bombay High Court to contemporary designs such as the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Religious photography subjects include Hindu temples like Siddhivinayak and Mahalakshmi, Islamic sites like Haji Ali Dargah, Christian churches like Mount Mary and St. Thomas Cathedral, and the Jewish Magen David Synagogue. The Elephanta Caves on a harbor island offer 6th-century rock carvings. Beaches along the Arabian Sea, including Juhu, Versova and the Marine Drive waterfront, provide opportunities for sunset and crowd photography. Sanjay Gandhi National Park in the northern suburbs contains forests, the ancient Kanheri cave temples, and occasional leopard sightings. Markets like Crawford Market and Chor Bazaar capture urban trade activity. Historic neighborhoods like Khotachiwadi preserve 19th-century wooden houses, while locations like Dhobi Ghat document traditional labor practices.
