Thane Roads To Remain Close For Mumbai Metro Work: Timing, Alternative Routes
Last Updated:
The traffic police in Thane have issued an advisory for I & U girder work on parts of Ghodbunder Road.
Thane's Kasarvadavali Traffic Subdivision, under the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC), has issued a traffic advisory in light of the ongoing construction work for Mumbai Metro Line 4. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), in collaboration with the construction engineering company J. Kumar Infraprojects Ltd., will undertake I & U girder installation, as well as T & L precast work, on specific sections of Ghodbunder Road.
This work will take place during nighttime hours—from 11 PM to 4 AM—between June 22 and July 14. Commuters are advised to expect diversions and possible delays during this period.
The construction work will be carried out in two main areas: from Nagalabunder Signal to the Indian Oil Pump, and from Nagalabunder to Bhayanderpada, as per the Free Press Journal.
To carry out these activities safely, certain parts of the Thane-Ghodbunder Road will be temporarily closed to heavy vehicles at specific locations. This traffic advisory is meant to reduce traffic jams and help vehicles move more smoothly in the area.
The notice has been issued by Pankaj Shirsat, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Traffic Department, Thane City.

– For light vehicles during the same period, traffic will be routed through the service road near Pillar No. 85 and will rejoin the main road near the Indian Oil Pump to reach their destinations.
Additional Entry Closures and Alternate Routes During Girder Work
– While the I & U girder work is in progress on the Ghodbandar-Thane stretch, all types of vehicles heading toward Thane will face entry restrictions near Nagla Bandar and Asha Wine Shop.
