The Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority has given clearance to a 13.38km coastal road project in Thane, Mumbai, costing ₹2,170 crore. The road will significantly reduce travel time in the area and connect Thane directly with other parts of India. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority is in the process of issuing tenders for the project.
Currently, Kharegaon and Kopri in Thane are not directly connected by a road, forcing commuters to take a detour of over 30 minutes to cover the distance. The Thane coastal road will significantly reduce travel time to approximately 15 to 20 minutes, benefiting the residents of the area.
