MMRDA Plans Six-Lane Cable-Stayed Bridge to Connect Thane and Navi Mumbai by 2030
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has invited bids for a 723-crore, 1.4-km six-lane cable-stayed bridge across Thane Creek, connecting Kopri in Thane East with Patni near Airoli. Expected to be completed by 2030, the bridge aims to reduce travel time between Thane and Navi Mumbai by 20 to 30 minutes and ease congestion on existing routes. It will link Thane Station Road with the Thane-Belapur Road corridor and complement upcoming regional infrastructure projects.
