A key highlight of this flyover is that it has been constructed on the viaduct of Metro Lines-4 and 4A, ensuring optimal land usage and seamless integration between road and metro systems
Once metro services begin in the future, residents in the area will have easy access to metro stations
This project is expected to significantly streamline and accelerate traffic movement for vehicles traveling between Thane, Bhiwandi, Navi Mumbai, JNPT, Borivali, Vasai-Virar, and Gujarat
A dedicated subway has been constructed beneath the flyover for pedestrians and local traffic to cross both sides of Ghodbunder Road safely
This will reduce pressure on the flyover itself and help eliminate bottlenecks between Gaimukh and Waghbil, leading to faster and less polluted traffic movement on the Ghodbunder stretch
Ghodbunder Road serves as a critical interstate freight corridor from Gujarat to JNPT
The flyover is likely to reduce traffic congestion between the Gaimukh and Waghbil areas in Thane
The current burden caused by heavy goods vehicles and daily office commuters on this stretch is likely to be eased with the construction of the flyover
