Mumbai: The iconic Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) – engineering marvel of sorts and the only cable-stayed bridge of its kind in India – is slated for inauguration in the next couple of months.
The estimated cost of the MTHL is over Rs 17,000 crore.
The MTHL, which passes over the Arabian Sea, would revolutionise travel in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
Two other similar bridges are Hangzhou Bay Bridge in China (36 kms) and King Fahd Causeway, Saudi Arabia (26 kms).
The Maharashtra government has decided to name the bridge after late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the legendary politician and statesman.
