(Official mahasamruddhimahamarg.com) The final 76-kilometre stretch of the Samruddhi Mahamarg in Thane district is nearing completion and is expected to open for traffic by the end of August, said a senior official from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC). With the completion of this stretch, the entire 701-kilometre corridor of the Samruddhi Mahamarg will be fully operational.
The official explained that the Thane segment includes 16 bridges and four tunnels with only one bridge still under construction. “This bridge, located in Khardi in Thane district, is the tallest on the Samruddhi Mahamarg, standing at 82 metres tall, equivalent to the height of a 27-story building. The bridge spans two valleys, making the construction particularly complex. Additionally, the 76-kilometre stretch traverses hilly terrain,” the official added.
