Thane Coastal Road-1 Reaches 40% Completion, Aiming to Ease Ghodbunder Road Traffic
The Thane Coastal Road-1 project has reached 40% physical progress within 14 months, advancing foundation, pier, and girder work along its 13.45-km, six-lane corridor between Kharegaon Toll Plaza and Gaymukh. The elevated road includes an 8.11-km stretch through mangrove areas and a 240-metre creek bridge, designed to minimize ecological impact. Once completed, it aims to ease congestion on Ghodbunder Road by separating local and long-distance traffic and improving connectivity to NH-160, Mumbai-Nashik Highway, and regional freight routes.
