Thane Coastal Road-1 Reaches 40% Completion with Elevated Mangrove Section
The Thane Coastal Road-1 project has reached 40% physical progress after 14 months, with 332 of 426 piles (77%) and 277 piers (65%) completed along the 13.45-km corridor from Kharegaon Toll Plaza to Gaymukh. The six-lane, access-controlled road includes an 8.11-km elevated stretch through mangroves and a 240-metre creek bridge, designed to reduce ecological impact.
