- The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, which is going to be India's longest sea bridge, will be inaugurated on January 12 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Driving on the upcoming Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) will cost ₹250 for one side. The Maharashtra state government has given nod to the proposal on one-way toll for cars on Thursday (January 4). The toll fee will be charged for a one-way drive on what will become India's longest sea bridge and the 10th longest in the world. The MTHL, which will also be called Atal Setu, will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 12.
Clearing the proposal to charge ₹250 as toll fee from cars, the Maharashtra state cabinet said the decision has been taken according to the existing rules of toll collection. The sea bridge is nearly 22 kms long and will connect Panvel in Raigad district and Sewri in south-central Mumbai. The cabinet has also said that toll fee for return journeys as well as for those who want to drive on MTHL daily will be different. The toll fee for a return journey on MTHL will be ₹375.
