Equipped with cutting-edge Japanese technology, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), also known as the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, promises to cut short the arduous two-hour-long journey between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai to a mere 20-minute ride. The project, which has been nearly six years in the making, Is inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The project, built at a cost of almost ₹20,000 crore, is being branded as a boon to Mumbaikars, who normally have to drive 42 km between the two destinations through endless traffic. The Atal Setu instead spans 22 km, and aims to save hours of travel time and litres of fuel, said Sanjay Mukherjee, Metropolitan Commissioner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). Touted as India’s longest sea bridge, the six-lane project comprises a 16.5 km-long sea bridge, and a 5.5 km-long elevated road on land. The bridge, according to officials, is designed to carry a daily capacity of 70,000 vehicles travelling at an average speed of 100 km per hour.
