The 21.8 km six-lane Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), India’s longest sea bridge, will be opened to the public on December 25, the BJP’s Maharashtra unit asserted.
However, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the government agency overseeing the project said that while over 95% is completed, the remaining tasks might not be finished by December end. The bridge would be the first to have an Open Road Tolling (ORT) system, as a result, vehicles would not have to stop on the bridge for paying toll. Of the 22-km bridge, 16.5 km-long stretch is above the sea.
