About the Sewri Navi Mumbai Sea Link
Over 1.24 crore people call Mumbai their home, and the city heavily depends on public transportation and infrastructure to stay connected. Mumbai is now undergoing a facelift in terms of infrastructural upgrading due to the town’s growth. The 21.8-km-long Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, which connects Sewri to Navi Mumbai’s Chirle and is located beside the JNPT Road, is one example of a recent infrastructural enhancement. The MMRDA will allow for the evolution of the sea connection.
A six-lane, limited-access road called the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link will start in Sewri, go along Thane Creek, and end at Chirle near Nhava Sheva. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Linkage Project was planned for the 1990s but ran into several obstacles. With the help of top politician Narendra Modi, the project was resurrected in 2016. Construction on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, which was divided into three packages, began in April 2018.
The first bundle, which spans 10.38 kilometers from Sewri to Thane Creek, is being developed by L&T and IHI Corporation. The second bundle, which is being developed by Tata Projects and Daewoo E&C, is 7.807 km long and runs from Thane Creek to Shivaji Nagar. The 0.33 bundle, which is currently being developed by L&T and might connect the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link with the national toll road 4B and state roads 52 and 54 at Chirle, Navi Mumbai
The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) bundle, which includes the Toll and Transport Management System and Equipment Installation for the Project, is the fourth bundle of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, which is anticipated to be completed by 2023, will be India’s longest maritime link. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link is expected to cost around Rs 17,843 crores to build. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link was originally planned to be built as part of a PPP, but the MMRDA eventually changed the plan and completed the project as an EPC version—engineering, procurement, and construction foundation version. About 85% of the project’s cost is funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). As of March 2022, over 73% of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link’s paintings have been completed.
The Mumbai exit might feature a 3-degree interchange following the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link’s design to link with the Eastern Freeway and the Sewri-Worli connection. At the Navi Mumbai exit, there may be an interchange at Shivaji Nagar and Chirle. To allow smooth movement of ships to the JNPT below the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, there may be a metal span of 4 km in the middle of the concrete Mumbai Trans Harbour Link. Even the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), a protected refuge for flamingos and migratory birds, might have visual and noise limitations on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link.
The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link may also contain features like an intelligence delivery system (ITS) and changeable messaging signs and symptoms, all of which are crucial for a maritime link. One hundred mph is the maximum speed limit for the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link. By using CCTV cameras and the Mumbai tourist control center, traffic at the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link may be managed. A platform like a rooster could be available on the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link from which to observe flamingos and other migrating birds. For the transportation of equipment and those working on the project, the MMRDA built a 5.6-km temporary bridge that can be converted into a platform that resembles a crow.
