Mumbai has just become less of an island. There's a new and easy way to get in and out, and it's called the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu. The official name of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link is as long as the bridge! In fact, at 21.8km, it's the longest bridge of its kind in India, of which 16.5km is over water. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) took an incredible five years (including two years of Covid) to build the Atal Setu.
That the Atal Setu will be a game changer for the people in the Mumbai region is an understatement. Firstly, it will cut a journey from Mumbai to Navi Mumbai that could take up to two hours in peak traffic, down to 20 minutes. And it's a pleasurable and efficient 20 minutes, making it worth the ₹250 toll.
