There is good news for motorists travelling to Panvel and Pune via the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL). A proposed connector of the bridge, which will link Chirle to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, has been given the green signal. The close-to-Rs 1,000-crore project comprises two six-lane elevated roads. One will link Chirle to Gavhan phata while the other will connect Palaspe to the expressway.

Metropolitan Commissioner Dr Sanjay Mukherjee posted a message on social media that read, “The project of MTHL connector connecting MTHL at Chirle to Mumbai-Pune Expressway at Palaspe is now approved and work is expected to start soon (sic).”
