Private cars make up over 91% of total traffic, with buses, trucks, and commercial vehicles also contributing significantly. Beyond easing commutes, Atal Setu has boosted commerce, cut fuel costs, and become a vital infrastructure lifeline for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, demonstrating the impact of modern connectivity.

Traffic data reveals that private cars accounted for the majority of vehicles, with over 1.81 crore crossings, representing more than 91% of total traffic. Around 5.98 lakh light commercial vehicles, minibuses, buses, and trucks have also used the bridge, alongside 12.06 lakh medium, heavy, and oversized vehicles.
Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Atal Setu links Sewri in South Mumbai to Chirle in Navi Mumbai, reducing travel time from nearly an hour to under 20 minutes. By connecting the hinterland to the mainland efficiently, it has eased commutes, lowered fuel costs, and strengthened commerce in the region.
In just over two years, the bridge has not only facilitated smooth vehicle movement but has also contributed significantly to economic growth, providing a model for world-class infrastructure in India. It has become an essential part of daily life for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
