Thane to Widen Ghodbunder Road to 60 Metres for Smoother Traffic

Thane authorities have announced plans to widen a key stretch of Ghodbunder Road to 60 metres to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. This project is part of a broader initiative to upgrade infrastructure and enhance connectivity in the region.

The widening will involve expanding the road from its current width, incorporating service lanes, and improving intersections to facilitate smoother traffic movement. The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has outlined the project, which aims to address the long-standing traffic woes faced by commuters on this busy route. The expansion is expected to significantly cut travel time and reduce bottlenecks, benefiting thousands of daily commuters.

As part of the project, existing encroachments will be cleared, and utility services such as water and electricity lines will be relocated. The TMC has assured that the work will be carried out in phases to minimise disruption to traffic. Additionally, the project includes plans for better pedestrian pathways and enhanced road safety measures to ensure a safer commute for all road users.

Local residents and businesses have welcomed the move, expressing hope that the widened road will lead to smoother and faster travel. The project is also expected to boost economic activities in the area by improving access and connectivity.

Authorities have urged the public to cooperate during the construction period, which is scheduled to start after the monsoon season. Traffic diversions and alternative routes will be provided to manage the flow of vehicles during the construction phase. The TMC is committed to completing the project on time, aiming to deliver a significant upgrade to Thane?s transportation infrastructure.
