Thane Civic Body Aims To Open Gandhinagar Flyover By Mid of June

According to latest development, the work of Gandhinagar flyover in Thane will be completed by June 10, said the civic officials.

The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) said that the work is in its final stage. The bridge is a vital one for the city and the work has been in full swing recently. Once operational, it will result in less congestion on Pokhran Lane 2.  

Without delay it should be open as it will help have a smooth flow of traffic during the monsoon too, said an officer of TMC.

The ongoing metro work has led to major congestion from Ghodbunder to Majhiwada. The Pokhran Road 2, which is an alternative for many to connect within the city, gets congested due to the pending bridge work.

With the bridge completed and re-opened for traffic it will decongest the road and help those who want to connect from Yeoor, Hiranandani meadows, Vasant Vihar, Upvan, Siddhachal to Ghodbunder.

For those unversed, in 2016, the widening of the road was undertaken by TMC and later in 2017, the work of the flyover was also undertaken at a cost of ₹6 crores. The work of the flyover led to major congestion on the road and residents and commuters from Majhiwada, Hiranandani estate, Upvan, Siddhachal and Ghodbunder are the most affected.
