Bandra-Worli sea link, Mumbai
The main span of the cable-stayed portion of the Bandra-Worli sea link measuring 500 meters is the largest in India and shares the 20th spot with Thailand's Kanchanaphisek Bridge among the bridges with the longest span in the world. It is 63 times the height of Qutub Minar and has consumed 90,000 tonnes of cement. It weighs equivalent to that of 50,000 African elephants and steel wire used is equivalent to the circumference of the earth.
