At present, most motorists travelling from Thane to Airoli and other parts of Navi Mumbai use the Kalwa Bridge and the Thane-Belapur Road. During peak hours, these routes witness severe traffic congestion, leading to long queues of vehicles. To avoid the bottlenecks, many commuters take a longer route via the Eastern Express Highway to reach either Thane or Navi Mumbai.
Once completed, the new creek bridge will provide a direct alternative route from the vicinity of Thane Railway Station to Airoli. The project is expected to reduce traffic pressure on the Kalwa Bridge, ease congestion on the Thane-Belapur Road, and offer faster and more convenient travel for thousands of daily commuters.
