Thane Coastal Road-1 Reaches 45% Completion with New Construction Record
The Thane Coastal Road-1 project, a 13.45 km six-lane access-controlled corridor connecting Kharegaon Toll Naka and Gaimukh, has reached 45% completion. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) set a construction record by installing 10 I-girders in a single day on October 14, 2026. Designed to provide an alternative to the congested Ghodbunder Road, the corridor aims to enhance connectivity between the Mumbai-Nashik Highway and Gaimukh, easing traffic and improving regional transport.
