Thane Coastal Road Reaches 40% Progress, Piling Work Nears Completion
The Thane Coastal Road-1 is a new six-lane road being built near Thane.
Construction has reached 40% completion after 14 months.
Workers have finished most of the foundation piles needed for the road.
They have also built many piers and installed hundreds of large bridge beams called girders.
Parts of the road will be elevated to reduce harm to mangrove areas.
The route will connect Kharegaon with Gaymukh.
It is intended to make travel and freight movement easier while reducing traffic on Ghodbunder Road.
Later, it is planned to connect with a tunnel toward Bhayandar.
