Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the country’s longest sea bridge, the Atal Setu Bridge. The bridge reduces the travel time between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai by 20 minutes. 
 

The connectivity between Mumbai International Airport and Navi Mumbai Airport will be improved. Transportation to Pune, Goa, and South India will become easier. 
 

The construction of Atal Setu incurred a cost of approximately Rs 18,000 crore. The vehicles can catch a speed of up to 100 kilometres per hour.
 

Atal Setu prohibits the use of bikes, auto rickshaws, and tractors. The construction utilized 177,903 metric tons of steel and 504,253 metric tons of cement. 
 

To address the challenges posed by heavy rainfall during the monsoon, special light bulbs have been installed for easy commute. 
 

A total of 5403 labourers and engineers worked day and night to make it a success. Unfortunately, seven workers lost their lives during the construction period. 

Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde recently set the toll amount to Rs 250 for vehicles crossing the bridge.
