The construction of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL)—the longest sea bridge in India, which links Sewri and Nhava Sheva—is 92 per cent complete. The bridge is expected to be operational by end of 2023. After achieving another milestone, MMRDA recently tweeted, “Team MMRDA at MTHL Pkg2 accomplished a major feat. They successfully completed entire 3,132 segments casting (sic).”

Metropolitan Commissioner S V R Srinivas said, “It’s a wonderful achievement as we cross one more milestone and move a little closer towards the project finish. This engineering marvel is now 92 per cent complete.” The project entails the construction of an 18-km-long marine road and a four-km-long land approach road that will connect central Mumbai with Navi Mumbai across Mumbai Bay. The project will improve connectivity to Navi Mumbai, where further urban development is being planned, and will also contribute to the economic development of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
