There is good news for motorists travelling to Panvel and Pune via the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL). A proposed connector of the bridge, which will link Chirle to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, has been given the green signal. The close-to-Rs 1,000-crore project comprises two six-lane elevated roads.
