Girder launching work of Thane's Kopri railway flyover completed
The installation of girders for the Kopri railway flyover, a key connector between Thane East and Thane West, undertaken by the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) was completed this week, as part of the ongoing Station Area Traffic Improvement Scheme (SATIS) project under the Smart City initiative, officials said on Friday. The critical work on the important stretch over the railway track, which had been pending for almost a year, involved the placement of heavy girders across tracks and was executed using special mega railway blocks. The girder launching work began on July 26 and was completed over multiple nights. To set the stage ready for work, the traffic police set in place vehicle diversions to and from Thane East for eight days, even before the girder installation work began. 'That night, two girders weighing approximately 100 tonnes were lifted and placed across the railway lines. On July 27, another girder weighing 50 tonnes was installed. The final two girders, both weighing 100 tonnes, were launched late on the night of July 29 and successfully installed by early morning on July 30,' a Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) officer associated with the project said on Friday. Traffic on the Kopri flyover was diverted to allow for the safe movement of cranes and equipment. 'A team of 18 engineers and 40 workers carried out the nighttime operations,' the officer added. With the main phase of work now done, traffic congestion in the Kopri area is expected to reduce. The remaining construction work will continue until August 4 without further traffic diversions, officials said. With the railway section of the work now complete, the rest of the project is expected to gain momentum. The remaining phases will be carried out during night shifts until August 4, with traffic halts on the Kopri flyover, said the officer. The project is part of TMC's effort to improve connectivity and decongest the area around the station. The planning and execution of the girder installation was led by Additional Municipal Commissioner Sandeep Malvi, Deputy City Engineer Sudhir Gaikwad, and Executive Engineer Dhananjay Mode.
