Mumbai Trans Harbour Sealink project: RTI reply reveals project’s cost went up by Rs 2000 crore after missing multiple deadlines
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be inaugurating the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link on January 12. The Chief Minister added that the 21.8-kilomtre long bridge between Sewri in Mumbai and Nhava Sheva area in Raigad district will cut down the travel time from two hours to around 15-20 minutes.
The much anticipated Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) project aims to provide a faster connectivity with the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport, JNPT Port, Mumbai – Pune Expressway and Mumbai – Goa Highway. It has received the official designation of ‘Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu,’ paying tribute to the enduring legacy of the late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
