Mumbai trans-harbour link to be commissioned next December: CM
The much-awaited Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL), the first of its kind of trans-harbour link in India, would be commissioned by December 2023.
The around 22-km-long cable-stayed bridge would be similar to the Hangzhou Bay Bridge in China (36 kms) and King Fahd Causeway in Saudi Arabia (26 kms).
The MTHL would connect Sewri in Mumbai with Nhava-Sheva across the harbour.
The mega-project is being executed by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
“We would be able to open the MTHL to the public before December next year…as of now, 84 per cent work is complete,” Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said after visiting the MTHL and reviewing the progress.
