Travel time between Dombivli and Thane is cut short to 20 minutes from the usual 1 hour, owing to the upcoming Mankoli-Motagaon Link Bridge that is around 84% complete. The MMRDA has asked officials to expedite work on the bridge to facilitate operations of the bridge by April 2023.
The 6-lane Mankoli Motagaon Link Bridge will provide connectivity to MMR through Kalyan Ring Road, Katai Naka- Badlapur-Karjat. Additionally, it will decongest areas including Mumbra, Shilphata, Kalamboli and Panvel.
