Phase 1 of the Kasarvadavli flyover on Ghodbunder Road in Thane is now open to traffic, marking a major milestone in Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s infrastructure upgrade. Inaugurated by Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik, the flyover is expected to significantly ease congestion and enhance connectivity between Thane, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Bhiwandi, Vasai, and Virar.

The flyover, constructed by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), features a two-lane, 7.5-metre wide elevated structure, a 2×2 lane underpass, and a total ramp length of 721 mtrs. Designed to accommodate up to 73,333 passenger cars, it is also aligned to offer seamless integration with Metro Line 4 (Wadala to Gaimukh), promoting efficient intermodal travel. “The left lane is now operational. Work on the right lane will begin after the monsoon,” said Minister Sarnaik, who long advocated infrastructure improvements in Ghodbunder, Gaimukh, and Kasarvadavli.

The project is expected to cut down traffic bottlenecks, especially between Waghbil and Gaimukh, and facilitate smoother transit to National Highways 3 and 8. With enhanced road and metro linkages, the Kasarvadavli flyover plays a pivotal role in Thane’s urban mobility and regional development strategy.
