THERE is finally some ray of hope for the ambitious Mumbai Trans Harbour Link ( MTHL) project of Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority ( MMRDA) connecting Sewri with Nhava Sheva. The future of the link, which looked bleak as it hadn’t received any bids earlier, now seems bright as the Japanese International Cooperation Agency ( JICA) has shown keen interest in funding the project. JICA is already funding the Colaba- Bandra- Seepz underground metro line three of MMRDA.

The Rs 8,300 crore Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link project will be the fourth longest in the world. It will connect Sewri in the island city to Nhava Sheva in Navi Mumbai
