The Golden Ribbon

In a landmark day for Mumbai, India's longest (22 km) sea-bridge and the world's 12th longest, the Atal Setu or Mumbai Trans Harbour Sealink (MTHL) project, constructed at a cost of Rs 180 billion, was recently inaugurated. In a view shared by millions of Mumbaikars, Anand Mahindra, CEO, Mahindra Group, shared a video of the bridge on X, saying he couldn’t wait to drive down this ‘golden ribbon’.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) was the implementing body of the six-lane elevated bridge, which originates from Sewri and terminates at Nhava Sheva in Uran taluka (Raigad district). The bridge, which can withstand earthquakes up to 6.5 magnitude, has a life span of 100 years and connects Mumbai with its satellite city, Navi Mumbai. Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Tata Projects, Japan’s IHI Corporation and Daewoo Engineering were the companies that executed the project with many technological features; from the two construction contracts, one went to L&T and the other to Tata Projects.
