India’s longest sea bridge used by over 50 lakh vehicles in last 7 months

Over 50 lakh vehicles have utilized the Atal Setu, India’s longest bridge and the longest bridge over water, since it was opened for traffic over seven months ago, said the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).

“From January 13 to August 25, a total of 50,04,350 vehicles, including BEST, NMMT, MSRTC’s Shivneri buses, and various private and commercial vehicles, have traversed this vital link,” MMRDA said.

The bridge, connecting Mumbai with its satellite city Navi Mumbai, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 12.

Commenting on the success of the Atal Setu, Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, and MMRDA Chairman Eknath Shinde stated, “The Atal Setu has revolutionized traffic in the Mumbai metropolitan area, benefiting millions of people. The fact that over 50 lakh vehicles have already used this bridge is a testament to its significance. This project is not only delivering economic benefits but also providing an effective solution to Mumbai’s growing traffic challenges, positively impacting millions of citizens.”

Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, Metropolitan Commissioner of MMRDA, added, ”The successful implementation of the Atal Setu has led to a marked improvement in Mumbai’s traffic system. The fact that over 50 lakh vehicles have used the bridge since its opening underscores its importance. This project is a shining example of how technology, planning, and determination can drive profound social and economic change, serving as an inspiration for future initiatives.”
