Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), revealing the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri--Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, poised to become the nation's longest sea bridge. With a construction cost exceeding Rs 17,840 crore, the 21.8 km bridge will soon connect South Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, drastically reducing the current two-hour commute to just 15-20 minutes. During his visit to Maharashtra, PM Modi will also lay the foundation stone for an underground road tunnel and launch the Namo Mahila Shashaktikaran Abhiyaan, contributing to the region's infrastructural advancements. The inauguration aligns with the Prime Minister's vision for enhanced urban transport infrastructure.
