Thane Roads To Remain Close For Mumbai Metro Work: Timing, Alternative Routes
The traffic police in Thane have issued an advisory for I & U girder work on parts of Ghodbunder Road.
Thane's Kasarvadavali Traffic Subdivision, under the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC), has issued a traffic advisory in light of the ongoing construction work for Mumbai Metro Line 4. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), in collaboration with the construction engineering company J. Kumar Infraprojects Ltd., will undertake I & U girder installation, as well as T & L precast work, on specific sections of Ghodbunder Road.
This work will take place during nighttime hours—from 11 PM to 4 AM—between June 22 and July 14. Commuters are advised to expect diversions and possible delays during this period.
The construction work will be carried out in two main areas: from Nagalabunder Signal to the Indian Oil Pump, and from Nagalabunder to Bhayanderpada, as per the Free Press Journal.
To carry out these activities safely, certain parts of the Thane-Ghodbunder Road will be temporarily closed to heavy vehicles at specific locations. This traffic advisory is meant to reduce traffic jams and help vehicles move more smoothly in the area.
The notice has been issued by Pankaj Shirsat, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Traffic Department, Thane City.

– For light vehicles during the same period, traffic will be routed through the service road near Pillar No. 85 and will rejoin the main road near the Indian Oil Pump to reach their destinations.
Additional Entry Closures and Alternate Routes During Girder Work
– While the I & U girder work is in progress on the Ghodbandar-Thane stretch, all types of vehicles heading toward Thane will face entry restrictions near Nagla Bandar and Asha Wine Shop.

Minister orders passenger bays under Metro 4 stations after staircase safety lapse
Thane: Transport minister Pratap Sarnaik on Monday instructed MMRDA officials to develop passenger bays and transport hubs beneath the elevated Metro Line 4 stations along Ghodbunder Highway. The development came after Sarnaik pointed out how the staircases of the eight elevated metro stations on the route were descending directly in the middle of the widened highway following a TOI report in May. We highlighted the situation where a possible coordination failure between two MMRDA departments led the Metro 4 route team to construct the stairways landing on the same medians, which were scheduled for removal by another team working on highway expansion leading to potential wastage of public money and delayed schedules in addition to posing risks for metro passengers. Later, the Thane UBT also wrote to the metropolitan commissioner. Meanwhile, Sarnaik met MMRDA officials last month, following which a site visit was scheduled for Monday, where the minister instructed them to formulate a remedial plan. Sarnaik indirectly admitted the lapse, saying, "We are facing a technical situation. The staircases between Gaimukh and Kapurbawdi currently land in the stretch between the main road and service lanes, posing potential risks for passengers getting hit by passing highway traffic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your donations can help this little boy see again clearly Donate For Health Donate Now Undo To fix this, I have directed reserving the service lane below each station as passenger bays and hubs for feeder buses, autos, and taxis."

We aim to begin Metro 4 trial runs by early 2026," he added. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai
