    Mumbai Trans Harbour Link: The world's second longest sea link
  • Work on India's longest sea link, the world's second longest, is finally set to start in January next year.

    Officials estimate that by 2023, the 22km-long Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) connecting Sewri and Nhava-Sheva will be a reality.

    The project was proposed sometime in the 1970-80s, but was delayed due to lack of clearances.

  • The MTHL will provide easy connectivity to motorists plying between South Mumbai and Navi Mumbai: travel time will be cut by an hour.

    Officials say it will also ease travel for those using the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

    According to estimates, about 70,000 vehicles will use the sea link daily.

    Once completed, it will be the world's second-longest sea link after China's 42-km Qingdao-Huandao link.

    Inordinate delays hounded the project since conception

  • The approval for the project by various studies came in the 1990s, but it ran into various legal and environmental roadblocks, including a controversy over who would complete it, the MMRDA or MSRDC. PM Narendra Modi finally laid its foundation stone in December'16.

  • The MMRDA estimated the project cost at Rs. 17,750cr, compared to its original 1980s budget of Rs. 350cr. The Japan International Cooperation Agency will provide 85% of the funds.

    Work was divided into three parts for its sea-bridge and road components. L&T-IHI, Daewoo-TPL and L&T won the contracts for the three.

    Officials say the project will be completed in 4.5 years.
