Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) has been the talk of the town for being an economical and faster travel route connecting Mumbai to Navi Mumbai. This 21.8-kilometre bridge is India’s longest sea bridge and will be open for public use from Saturday. MTHL is believed to shorten the travel time between the two places to just 20 minutes!
The main aim of this bridge was to better the current connectivity scenario in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. This region mainly includes districts like Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, and Raigad. Once opened, this bridge will also decongest the heavy traffic at Vashi Bridge.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Development Authority is expecting more than 70,000 vehicles to cross the bridge daily. It will also help save about 10 million litres of fuel annually once it becomes fully functional.
