Mumbai MTHL
Mumbai, the vibrant and bustling metropolis, stands as the heart of India’s economic and cultural landscape. As one of the world’s largest cities, Mumbai is a hub of activity, commerce, and innovation, attracting millions of people from all walks of life. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of Mumbai and its surrounding areas, and one of its marvels is the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL). Spanning an impressive 21.8 kilometers, the MTHL symbolizes Mumbai’s ambition and commitment to infrastructural progress, envisioned as a vital artery connecting Mumbai with Navi Mumbai.
Mumbai faces significant challenges related to traffic congestion and environmental pollution, especially on the Mumbai-Navi Mumbai route. The lack of efficient connectivity has resulted in prolonged travel times, excessive fuel consumption, and increased carbon emissions, all of which adversely affect the city’s residents and the environment.
In partnership with EFKON STRABAG, a global leader in infrastructure development, MMRDA has undertaken the transformative MTHL project. Through cutting-edge technology, innovative solutions, and unwavering dedication, EFKON STRABAG has played a pivotal role in realizing MMRDA’s vision of a modern, efficient, and sustainable transportation network.
