Atal-Setu bridge: First drive experience on Mumbai's Trans-Harbour Link

The Atal-Setu bridge is mind-blowing, allowing you to glide through 20 km in just 20 mins.

Got lucky. Drove on this brand new Sea link of Mumbai at midnight for free of cost Started from Chirle Interchange and ended up at Sewri and then drove back to Chirle. Passed through the toll plaza both times but there was no deduction. However, I honestly would not mind even if the amount from my Fastag gets deducted at any later point in time.

The Mumbai Trans-Harbour link is mind-blowing!! Buttersmooth roads, excellent lane markings, great signboards and world-class infrastructure. You just glide from Navi Mumbai to South Mumbai, just lazily like that in 20 mins without touching even 100, such is the effortless drive!!

On the new sea link though, I missed that one mind-blowing yet intimidating factor that the Bandra-Worli Sea link had amazed me in 2010 when I first travelled on it in a Kaali--Peeli taxi. It was the huge and tall cable that stayed spans in the centre which truly made one feel that you are on a Sea bridge. That apart, the Mumbai Trans-Harbour link is just - Wow - at present, it mostly benefits those driving from South Bombay and Central Bombay towards Pune/Lonavala/Alibag/Konkan/Ulwe, CBD Belapur, Seawoods, Kharghar areas in Navi Mumbai.

Vashi, Turbhe, Sanpada, Mahape, Ghansoli and the likes in Navi Mumbai do not have much business to do with MTHL. Sharing some pics here, will come up with my observations later.
