Atal Setu, India's longest bridge, spanning 21.8 km and connecting Sewri in Mumbai with Navi Mumbai, opened for public on Friday.

With a total cost of over Rs 17,840 crore, the bridge aims to enhance connectivity, boasting a speed limit of 100 km/hr for four-wheelers. There is a user-fee ranging from 250-1580 rupees for a one-way journey, depending on the vehicle type, and has no entry for certain vehicle categories.
