Motorists will be soon able to travel on the 22-km-long Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) connecting Sewri with Nhava Sheva, the longest sea bridge in the country. MMRDA)sources said 97 per cent work on this project is complete and finishing touches will be completed soon. MMRDA has recommended a one-way toll of Rs 500 while the state government has proposed one of Rs 350. CM Eknath Shinde will take a final decision on this. The 21.8-kilometre six-lane bridge has three interchanges, at Sewri in south Mumbai, connecting the MTHL to the Eastern Freeway; at Shivaji Nagar in Ulwe, connecting the MTHL to Navi Mumbai Coastal Road and the third at Chirle interchange — where one arm will connect the State Highway-54, the other will connect to NH4.
