While the distance of 5.5 kilometers is on the ground. Once its construction is completed, it will be the longest sea bridge in India and 7000 vehicles will pass through it daily.
What will change with the Trans-Harbour link?
Citing the importance of the Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL), the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Commissioner (MMRDA) said that Mumbai will not be an ‘island city’ after the inauguration of the MTHL as it will ensure seamless connectivity.

Once MTHL is operational, all geographical barriers will be a thing of the past as it will only take you 10 minutes to reach the city.
