Atal-Setu Bridge: First night drive experience in my M340i on MTHL

View Forum Discussion

I believe I did not spot any speed cams (not sure), but plenty of CCTV's.

Saturday night drove on this new bridge for the 1st time and had the opportunity to capture the magnificence of the Atal Setu (previously called the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link) at night. This exclusive 1st night POV style drive video previews the journey on the longest sea bridge of India.

The video also has some unfiltered sounds of the B58 singing & the M Performance exhaust making all the right noises.

Here are some pictures;

Taking the ramp for Atal Setu via Eastern Freeway (Mumbai);

India's longest bridge starts and the celebratory lights welcome us;

Soon ran into some traffic of cars which had illegally stopped to take selfies etc. Was a cause of concern but thankfully the cops were on the job & booking the miscreants.

Interestingly the updated maps on my M340i was detecting the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link;

A Nice roller;

When will this stop ?

The openness is really rewarding and relaxing;

The entire bridge is well lit up throughout which aids night driving;

The bridge is well designed & an engineering marvel. The road quality is also flawless & trust it will stay this way (BWSL road surface is still great). The Speed limit is 100 km/h which is ok (thankfully not 80 km/h, as that would have felt too slow). I believe I did not spot any speed cams (not sure), but plenty of CCTV's. The bridge surface is not flat, there are upslopes & dips may be to make way for ferry or ships to pass from under. Crossed the bridge in aprox. 15 mins to reach New Mumbai, a game changer for sure
