Mumbai sea crossing completion
India's longest sea bridge, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), which was constructed using mageba bearings and expansion joints, was inaugurated in January 2024
Following on from mageba’s design, manufacture and delivery of the bearings and expansion joints required for the construction of Mumbai’s Bandra-Worli Sea Link, mageba has now also done the same for the city’s spectacular new Trans Harbour Link. With a length of 21.8 kilometres, it required an enormous number of bearings and expansion joints to support its superstructures and accommodate their movements, and mageba’s team in Kolkata was honoured to be also entrusted with supplying these critical components of this landmark structure. Having supplied hundreds of RESTON®SPHERICAL bearings earlier in the bridge construction process, as reported in a previous newsletter, we more recently completed the supply of the expansion joints required – over 1900 metres of them in total, nearly all of the TENSA®MODULAR type, with up to 10 individual movement gaps each. 75 metres of TENSA®MAT-type expansion joints were also supplied to form longitudinal joints in the superstructure.
The construction was completed in December 2023, and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 12th January 2024, marking the completion of the second sea crossing in Mumbai that relies on mageba’s high-quality bearing and expansion joint solutions.
