While the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) has been thrown open to the public after a construction period of six years, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) appears to be struggling to complete two road overbridges that are only three per cent of the MTHL’s size. While civic officials claim that design changes by the Railways and other factors led to the delays, activists appear unsurprised at the ‘historical lack of coordination’ among government authorities.
Work on the 21-km MTHL, which is a sea bridge, began in April 2018. The BMC started working on the approximately 656-metre road over bridge in Vikhroli in May 2018. The bridge was supposed to be completed in October 2022. Its current deadline is June this year.
