The mumbai Trans Harbour Linkwas constructed with a century in mind. The longest sea bridge in India would allow cars to make the trip from Mumbai to Navi Mumbai in under an hour. The MMRDA claims that the International Cooperation Agency (JICA) provided a significant portion of the funding for this engineering feat.The installation of orthotropic steel decking has eliminated the potential for environmental and navigational hazards in the bay area. In comparison to concrete or composite girders, this one weighs less and is more robust. JICA claims that India is the first country to execute this.
