The whole bridge is 21.8 kilometres long.<br>The Atal Setu has six lanes, and it took seven years to build. People who use the bridge need to pay toll charges, but it's made easier with technology.</p><p>The bridge has strong poles to handle deep-sea weather conditions. These poles are corrosion-resistant, rust-proof, and can resist strong winds. There are also special protections to prevent lightning damage.</p><h5>Are all vehicles allowed on this bridge?</h5><p>Motorcycles, autorickshaws, and tractors are not allowed on the sea bridge. Four-wheelers must follow a speed limit of 100 km per hour. There is a specific speed limit for getting on and off the bridge. Recently, the Mumbai police issued a warning about driving on the bridge.</p><h5>What warnings have been issued?</h5><p>The Mumbai Police warned people because many were seen stopping their vehicles and taking pictures on the MTHL. The police said it's against the law, and those who don't follow this rule will be punished.</p>
