New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri–Nhava Sheva Atal Setu, built at a cost of about Rs 17,840 crore. Atal Setu is the longest bridge in India and also the longest sea bridge in the country. It is being described as an engineering marvel as the lights used in Atal Setu do not disturb the aquatic environment and its construction involved several technologies that were used for the first time in India, PTI reported quoting Metropolitan Commissioner of MMRDA Dr Sanjay Mukherjee.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Maharashtra today and unveil projects worth over Rs 30,500 crore in the state.

During the visit, the Prime Minister will lay also the foundation stone of the underground road tunnel connecting Eastern Freeway’s Orange Gate and launch Namo Mahila Shashaktikaran Abhiyaan in the state.

An official release said the Mumbai Transharbour link (MTHL), now named ‘Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri – Nhava Sheva Atal Setu’ has been built in line with the Prime Minister’s vision to improve ‘ease of mobility’ of citizens by strengthening urban transport infrastructure and connectivity.

The foundation stone of the bridge was laid by PM Modi in December 2016.
