Introduction
This project was awarded to the main
contractor in 2000. Due to the local
fishing community’s demands, the
owner had to add, after award of work
and start of construction, a second 150
m wide navigation span to the origi-
nal design and had to shift the bridge
alignment 150 m into the sea near
the Worli connector. In addition, the
owner decided to get the Bandra cable
stayed landmark bridge (Fig. 1) rede-
signed, so that it could be built bound Fig. 2: The 126-m tall pylons of the two Bandra cable-stayed bridges
