Thane Minister Announces 2026 Deadline for Ghodbunder Highway Upgrades

As of November 10, 2025, Thane's cabinet minister Pratap Sarnaik has announced a fresh deadline of January 2026 for the completion of all pending works on the Ghodbunder highway. The arterial road, which connects the far northeast and west ends of Mumbai suburbs, has been undergoing a major overhaul within the Thane city limits.

The ongoing project involves merging the service lanes on either side into the main carriageway and concretizing the entire stretch. This has resulted in several lanes being blocked, causing congestion for both city and outbound traffic. However, Sarnaik has assured that the "traffic woes on Ghodbunder highway will end by Jan 2026."
