Issues such as opposition, initially by local residents of Worli’s in posh ‘Pratisksha’ housing society and later an agitation by fishermen at Worli Koliwada forcing the realignment of bridge 150 meters into the sea and increasing its height respectively, escalating the project cost from initial Rs.450 crore to revised estimation of Rs.

Members of Pratiksha Housing society at Worli housing many star sportsmen said the bridge it was too close to their building.

 DNA - Mumbai - Worli residents move SC - Daily News & Analysis
The petitioners — Save Worli Seaface Samiti — are banking on the fact that many crucial points weren’t discussed in the HC, which referred to the 2001 case filed against the sea link by city-based NGO Bombay Environmental Action Group (BEAG).
In its SLP, the Worli residents state that the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) was for a 1.2 km bridge, but when the bridge length was increased to 4 km, no fresh EIA was carried out.
The EIA has been done for the bridge from Sea Rock hotel to Worli Fort, which was changed and a bridge along the coastline was planned.

 haftamag.com - Bridge across forever   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The BWSL's website (http://www.bandraworlisealink.com/) pegs the daily number of "passenger car units" (where one car is one PCU and a bus about 3 PCU) that ply on the hugely congested Mahim Causeway at 120,000 – a number which could do with some updation.
Anil Deshmukh attributes the cost overrun to realignment of the bridge, made necessary to accommodate the Worli Fishermen who are among the most vocal critics of the project.
But with this controversial flyover due to be completed only in 2009 and the Worli Nariman Point Sealink by 2010 (per stated deadlines, which, as we've been constantly reminded are prone to painful delays), there appears to be no easy road ahead for Mumbaikars.

The construction of Bandra Worli Sea Link taken up by MSRDC is a partial solution to the problem and appreciable relief can be achieved if the sea link is further extended up to Nariman Point with a connector linking Cuffe Parade.
The alignment is to be provided with interchanges at Worli, Haji Ali, Bhulabhai Desai Road and a dispersal arm at Nariman Point for connecting to the Cuffe Parade by a bridge.
It is estimated that an eight lane bridge from Worli to Haji interchange and six lane beyond Haji Ali to Nariman Point will be required.
