The Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link , popularly known as Bandra Worli Sea Link is the first sea bridge of India . The cable stayed sections of this bridge , the tall towers along which the cables take support and E-Toll service are the striking features of the Bridge . The Sea Link reduces travel time between Bandra and Worli to 6 - 8 minutes , which would otherwise be more than 20 minutues . However , due to huge toll bills , very few vehicles ply through the bridge . As of October 2009 , BWSL had an average daily traffic of about 37,500 vehicles .
