MTHL will be the country’s longest and world’s 12th longest sea bridge, connecting South Mumbai to Navi Mumbai and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
The proposed toll for Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) was Rs 500, based on NHAI and Bandra Worli Sea Link formulas.
MTHL's inauguration is anticipated by January-end, with final details pending cabinet approval.
Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, IAS, Commissioner of MMRDA, conducted a comprehensive inspection to review progress and hold discussions with stakeholders.
MTHL spans 21.8 kilometers, with over 16 kilometers stretching over the sea, connecting Mumbai to Navi Mumbai.
Commuters can traverse between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai in just 20 minutes, enjoying signal-free connectivity.
MTHL aims to provide faster connectivity to Mumbai-Goa highway, Mumbai-Pune expressway, Navi Mumbai International Airport, and JNPT port.
The lighting poles on the bridge are designed to withstand deep-sea weather challenges, equipped with a Central Control & Monitoring System (CCMS), corrosion-free coating, and Lightning Protection System.
The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) project primarily funded by JICA, is anticipated to significantly benefit commuters with a reduction of 15km in the distance between South Bombay and Panvel.
MTHL and associated projects are expected to boost Maharashtra GDP by at least 5% and the national GDP by 1%, categorizing the bridge as a game-changer.
