PM Modi Inaugurates Mumbai Trans Harbour Link

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), India’s longest sea bridge, connecting Sewri in Mumbai to Nhava Sheva in Raigad district. Named the Atal Setu, the 21.8-km link reduces travel time between the two points from an hour and a half to around 20 minutes. Costing Rs 17,840 crore, the MTHL, with six lanes and 16.5 km over the sea, aims to enhance transportation, ease traffic, and stimulate economic growth. The bridge incorporates an open road tolling system, allowing vehicles to pass toll booths at speeds up to 100 km/h. It is earthquake-resistant and designed to withstand various seismic risks. The MTHL is expected to improve connectivity to airports, reduce travel time to Pune, Goa, and South India, and enhance links between Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru Port.
