This project spans approximately 17 km and includes a primary sea link along with connectors at key points such as Bandra, Carter Road, Juhu Koliwada, and Versova
Once completed, the Versova-Bandra Sea Link is expected to significantly cut down travel time, ease traffic congestion on major routes, and boost both tourism and real estate development along the west coast
The project also boasts modern features such as a zero-signal driving experience and advanced traffic management systems, making it a game-changer for urban mobility in Mumbai
Earlier, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Limited (MSRDC) had invited applications from fisherfolk whose livelihoods would be impacted by the project. Fishing activities across six coastal villages are expected to be affected
A socio-economic survey by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) identified 1,637 fisherfolk living in the project’s ‘zone of influence’ — the geographical area around the sea link that may be positively or negatively impacted
