Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to inaugurate the country’s longest sea bridge Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL) here on Friday. Besides MTHL, the 21.8-kilometer-long bridge, which will connect Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, three other major projects, at a combined cost of over Rs 84,000 crore, are expected to start operations in 2024 and are likely to provide further impetus to the city’s economic boom.
The six-lane MTHL project was first conceived in the 1970s, and was finally awarded in 2017, to be completed in the early part of 2022. The project will now start operations with a toll fee of Rs 250 for one-way single-journey vehicles, according to local news reports.
