Mumbai Trans Harbour Link

The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), also known as Atal Setu, was on January 12, 2024 inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The six-lane trans-harbour bridge is 21.8km long with a 16.5km long sea-link. The bridge will provide faster connectivity to the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport and reduce the travel time between Mumbai and Pune. It will also improve connectivity between the Mumbai Port and the Jawaharlal Nehru Port. The foundation stone of the bridge had been laid by PM Modi in December 2016.

A network of hi-definition cameras has been placed to monitor traffic and also facilitate emergency response at the MTHL. In addition, there is a video incident detection system (to identify stalled vehicles, unauthorised pedestrian movement, wrong-side driving, fires and obstacles) and a speed violation detection system (for penalising motorists who exceed MTHL’s 100kmph speed limit).

For the initial year, the toll for a one-way passage on MTHL is set at Rs 250, while the round-trip toll is Rs 375. However, for commuters who take a diversion and go to Shivaji Nagar the toll will be Rs 200.
