Gaimukh-Payegaon Creek Bridge Nears Completion to Enhance Thane Connectivity
Construction of the 6.5-km Gaimukh-Payegaon Creek Bridge in Thane has surpassed 95% completion of piling work, with pier construction underway. This bridge will connect Gaimukh on Ghodbunder Road to Chinchoti-Payegaon, providing a direct route to Bhiwandi and Vasai, easing congestion on Ghodbunder Road. It will also link to major infrastructure projects like the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail and Virar-Alibaug Corridor. Additionally, the Thane Coastal Road and other projects aim to improve regional connectivity and support economic growth.
