Bandra-Worli Sea Link - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

no name change till now i guess. would take some time.

i want to hear the latest on the traffic situation on this link

 

[amish]

I expect the news saying "not enough toll" collected

Approximately 32000 vehicles, mostly passenger cars, are currently using the sea link on a daily basis

wow, 16 lakh rupees collected everyday already. hold on let me make some calculations

----------

more than 55 cr every year, project cost was 1800cr.

so very rough calculation (with interest) says that abt 20yrs to recover the cost.

their target is to recover cost in 10yrs. which means no of vehicles shud double, i.e. 64000 vehicles shud pass everyday.


now my calculation doesnt include daily pass holders which shud bring the figure of 32000 further down.

in short forget abt toll decreasing or bridge becoming toll-free for abt 20yrs atleast.

----------

we also need to see if 64000 a day wud still keep the bridge "traffic jam" free.

well there are maintenance charges which these companies claim at a later stage to further extend the toll period. no toll roads in india are going to become toll free. ever. it is just a dream that the government gives us. toll would increase every year. like it has for delhi gurgaon expressway. 2 times already in less than 2 years.
