Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to mark a historic moment today as he inaugurates the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), the longest sea bridge in the country. Named the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri--Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, this impressive 21.8-kilometer-long structure has been realized at a staggering cost of over Rs 17,840 crore.
The Atal Setu has been constructed at a total cost exceeding Rs 17,840 crore.- Covering approximately 21.8 km, the bridge includes a six-lane stretch over the sea spanning around 16.5 km and an additional 5.5 km on land.- The bridge aims to improve connectivity to Mumbai International Airport, Navi Mumbai International Airport, and enhance travel between Mumbai and Pune, Goa, and South India. Furthermore, it is anticipated to strengthen the connection between Mumbai Port and Jawaharlal Nehru Port.- Mumbai Police has set a maximum speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour for four-wheelers on the MTHL, with specific restrictions for motorbikes, autorickshaws, and tractors.- Toll charges for a passenger car on the MTHL will be Rs 250 for a one-way journey, with varying rates for return journeys and different categories of frequent travelers.
The inauguration of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link is not just a monumental event for the city but also a significant stride towards improving the ease of mobility for its citizens.
