Mumbai just got its own record-breaking sea bridge and it is called Atal Setu. It is expected to revolutionise travel in the region by reducing travel time significantly
The bridge uses many state-of-the-art technologies to make the journey as seamless as possible. Check out some of the best technologies used on the bridge
The bridge is equipped with technology that can withstand earthquakes of up to 6.5 on the Richter scale, ensuring its stability during seismic activities
This first-of-its-kind feature in India allows the bridge to have longer spans, thereby improving its structural strength
This technology, aimed at reducing noise and vibrations, plays a vital role in preserving the marine ecosystem around the bridge
The bridge is fitted with noise silencers and sound barriers to keep the noise levels to a minimum
The bridge’s lighting system is designed to be non-intrusive to the surrounding aquatic life
The MTHL will employ an open road tolling system, eliminating long queues at toll booths. Advanced scanners will electronically collect tolls from vehicles, reducing waiting times to virtually zero
The bridge will feature displays at regular intervals to provide drivers with real-time critical information, such as traffic congestion or accidents on their route
