The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), hailed as India’s longest sea bridge, has been a project riddled with both ambition and delays. Originally proposed in 1962, it aimed to link Mumbai Island with Navi Mumbai and extended regions. Decades passed before any substantial progress occurred. The Maharashtra government initiated a feasibility report in 1994, yet bureaucratic hurdles stalled the project until 2017 when the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) finally signed an agreement with the International Japan Cooperation Agency (IJCA), reigniting hope for the MTHL's construction.
Work on the 21.8-km-long bridge began in April 2018 with an estimated completion date of mid-2023. The vision of the MTHL, described as a transformative project, aims to connect Sewri in Mumbai to Chirle in Navi Mumbai, spanning 21.8 km and promising a six-lane structure. Each lane, 3.5 meters wide, symbolizes the aspirations and dreams pinned on this monumental infrastructure development.
Despite over 97% completion of the sea link itself, concerns linger regarding its practicality without accompanying infrastructure to manage traffic flow efficiently. The installation of crucial technological systems under Package 4, encompassing the Intelligent Transport System (ITS), remains unresolved. This includes toll and transport management systems, presenting a significant hurdle towards meeting the looming deadline.
The MMRDA officials, while confident in completing the civil work by December, acknowledge that the technological systems' delay will affect the bridge's effective operation. The intricate system setup seems to require more time, prolonging the wait for a fully functional MTHL.
The BJP has announced the bridge's public opening on December 25. However, the state government has not confirmed this inauguration date, prompting questions about the feasibility of such a rapid opening, especially in the absence of adequate traffic dispersal roads to ensure smooth traffic flow from the bridge.
MTHL is presented as Maharashtra's dream project, symbolizing progress and development. However, MTHL's journey, marked by delays, technological requirements, and infrastructural necessities, underscores the intricate balance between ambition and pragmatic execution in India's infrastructure development.
