GB Road Expansion to Alleviate Traffic Congestion in Thane
GB Road, a major thoroughfare connecting Thane to key areas within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, has long been plagued by traffic jams, especially during peak hours. The expansion is designed to enhance road capacity, reduce travel time, and improve overall traffic flow, addressing the growing demands of the rapidly expanding urban area.
In addition to widening the road, the project includes the construction of new flyovers and underpasses to minimise bottlenecks. Upgraded traffic signals and improved signage will further contribute to smoother traffic movement and better safety for motorists and pedestrians alike.
MMRDA officials anticipate that the expansion will not only ease congestion but also stimulate economic growth by improving connectivity and access to local businesses and services. The project is expected to be completed in phases, with minimal disruption to daily commuters.
As Thane continues to grow, the GB Road expansion represents a critical step toward modernising the city?s infrastructure and supporting its development. The MMRDA's efforts are expected to bring significant long-term benefits to the region, enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
