To reduce traffic in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has opened bids for its six significant new infrastructure projects. The majority of these projects are in Thane, and a few months ago, tenders were released for them.

The projects include building a creek bridge from Gaimukh to Payegaon on Chinchoti-Anjur Phata Road, which would cost approximately ₹ 9.43 crore, and expanding the Eastern Motorway from Chedda Nagar to Anand Nagar in Thane, which will cost approximately ₹ 12.80 crore. The projects include building a 13-km Thane Coastal Road project from Balkum to Gaimukh in Thane, an 8.5-km elevated road from Anand Nagar to Saket on the Eastern Express Highway, and a creek bridge from Kasarvadavli to Kharbav in Thane, which will cost ₹ 7.26 crore.

MMRDA will move forward with the technical assessments and bidder identification. The plans will be examined and then sent to the state government for approval. The following bidders took part in these projects: J. Kumar, Navyuga, Afcons, Ashoka Buildcon, and Apco Infratech. It is expected that work will start following the monsoon.
