Mahim-Mahim Sea link open : Will take you to same place in 20 min flat

Starting today, you will be able to spend an extra 20 minutes on your way to office for no particular reason. MSDRC's unique solution to traffic snarls in Mahim - the 3000 cr, sprawling Mahim-Mahim Sea Link project, is being inaugurated today. The Sea link diverts traffic away from Sawarkar Marg, takes it away on a U-shaped road into the sea and straight back on to Sawarkar Marg. It's mandatory for odd and even numbered vehicles to take this detour on alternate days.
'It was an exhilarating experience', says Vineet, who tried the road this morning,'I re-entered the road from the sea link at 20kmph, skidded straight on and banged into the wall on the opposite side and am in Mahim police station now'. Mahim police have registered 300 such cases in the first 3 hours since the opening.
Urban Studies professor, Dr. Sawant sees this as the first step in the creation of marine suburbs in Mumbai, where travellers stuck in a jam for days together, turn the road into a colony and start living on it. The channa/moongphali vendors and mini-CCD that are already on the sea link tell us that this day is not far.
