Various road development works are going on through MMRDA to bring drastic changes in the traffic situation in Thane Municipal area and surrounding area. Thane Municipal Corporation is completely positive about the difficulties in land acquisition, environmental approval, issues related to trees etc. required for these works. Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao has clarified that all possible cooperation will be given to resolve this matter immediately.
A review meeting was held to assess transport improvement projects, including the consolidation of Ghodbunder Road and Sewa Road, Anand Nagar to Saket Unnat Road, Balkum to Gaimukh Coastal Road, Gaimukh to Payegaon Creek Bridge, and Kasarvadvali to Kharbav Creek Bridge.
Projects like the Kolshet to Kalher Khadi Bridge and the Thane-Borivali Subway were also discussed. Key topics included land acquisition under Thane Municipal Corporation, environmental clearances, tree plantation, and the relocation of water and sewage channels.
Airoli to Katai Naka
A revised proposal for land acquisition for the additional land required for the elevated road from Airoli to Katai Naka will be sent to the Collector's Office, as well as a revised proposal to the State Government for seeking funds for the cost of this increased land acquisition.
Thane Municipal Corporation is acquiring 12.59 hectares of land for Airoli to Katai road. The original proposal for this was INR 253 crores. A survey is going to be done to find out how much more space will be required by increasing it, as well as how much it will cost. Subsequently, the meeting decided to send revised proposals for both land acquisition and incremental expenditure.
