Mumbai's perennial traffic challenges are expected to decrease with the upcoming opening of the Mumbai Coastal Road. The project, culminating with the inauguration of the Atal Setu, is expected to transform the city's transportation landscape. The ambitious infrastructure endeavour that spans the western coastline of the city may ease traffic congestion at Mumbai's major routes but the major game-changer, the experts suggest would be the metro network in the city after it is fully operational.

The recent inauguration of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), officially named Atal Setu, is crucial in connecting Navi Mumbai with Mumbai. Whereas, the Mumbai Coastal Road is a testament to the city's commitment to robust urban planning and infrastructural development apart from reducing travel time and traffic.
