The video prompts viewers to ponder the magnitude of such a feat and sparks a sense of wonder at the sheer scale of the MTHL project.

Meanwhile, according to Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority 5,403 workers and engineers worked to complete the project since work began in mid-2018.

However, while most of them will be able to witness the inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seven among them, who played a role in making the engineering marvel a reality, won’t be around having lost their lives during the construction of the bridge.

While experts and engineers from across the globe worked on the project, most of the labourers were sourced from states like Bihar, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Maharashtra.
