The project will improve connectivity to Navi Mumbai, where further urban development is being planned, and will also contribute to the economic development of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Once the bridge opens for traffic, it will be possible to travel from Sewri in central Mumbai to Chirle in Navi Mumbai in 15 to 20 minutes, the Maharashtra CMO had earlier said in a statement

In a statement from the CMO in January, it was said that the vehicles would not have to stop on the bridge for paying toll, thanks to the Open Tolling System. This system is currently used in Singapore, said officials of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), a Maharashtra government agency which is the implementing authority for the six-lane MTHL project, financed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency
