Mumbai's Thane Gets Slight Makeover: Flyover Inaugurated While Metro Line 4 On Track
Last Updated:
Maharashtra's Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik has inaugurated the much-awaited 800-meter-long flyover,
In a move to offer seamless transportation and push down the growing traffic in the city, the Mumbai government has finally inaugurated two major infrastructure projects, Metro Line 4 and the Kasarvadavli Flyover Phase 1. The latter has been open for public use, making it easy for everyone to save time while travelling on the Thane–Gaimukh route.
Maharashtra's Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik has inaugurated the much-awaited project. It is an 800-meter-long flyover, which is already easing traffic chaos that once choked the Ghodbunder junction. It is built alongside the upcoming Metro Line 4 corridor, the flyover allows seamless movement from Thane to Gaimukh, bypassing a junction notorious for long snarls.
Phase 2, which will connect Gaimukh back to Thane, is all set to benefit the public after the monsoon.
Metro Line 4 Update
Running parallel to the flyover is the under-construction Metro Line 4, a 32.3 km elevated metro line stretching from Wadala to Gaimukh, with 30 planned stations., The project has not been inaugurated yet. However, major civil works are in advanced stages.
Recently, engineers achieved a significant milestone at Kapurbawdi station, installing a set of giant U-girders—each weighing nearly 98 tonnes—in a single night. This fast-tracked feat sets the stage for trial runs, which are expected to begin on a 10 km stretch between Cadbury Junction and Gaimukh later this year.
