The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has floated a tender of INR 36 crore to restart the pending section of the Thakurli elevated flyover in Dombivli, which has been stalled for nearly seven years. The remaining stretch between Thakurli Railway Phatak and Mahsoba Chowk is expected to improve traffic movement between Kalyan and Dombivli. The delay was mainly due to compensation challenges involving around 60 affected homes. With these issues recently resolved, authorities plan to move ahead with the project, which earlier saw partial completion in 2018.
The Thakurli elevated flyover project in Dombivli is set to move forward again after a prolonged halt. MMRDA has issued a tender worth INR 36 crore to complete the remaining stretch from Thakurli Railway Phatak to Mahsoba Chowk. This section is an important connector expected to ease traffic between Kalyan and Dombivli, particularly for commuters who depend on internal roads in Thakurli. Advertisement
The project had remained inactive for almost seven years due to compensation-related delays. KDMC has now finalised compensation for about 60 homes that were required for the remaining work. With this long-standing hurdle resolved, MMRDA aims to restart on-ground work once the tendering process is completed. Officials expect construction activity to resume within the coming one to two months.
The flyover was originally planned as a two-part structure. The first section, connecting Dombivli East and West, was completed in 2018. However, the extension towards Thakurli and the 90-Feet Road corridor remained incomplete because of land and property concerns. The project had earlier been awarded to SMC Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. and Kashec Engineers for an estimated cost of INR 33.04 crore at the time.
The renewed effort to finish the flyover marks a significant step towards addressing a long-pending urban mobility gap in the region. Once operational, the route is expected to offer a more direct travel option between key neighbourhoods and improve overall traffic flow during peak hours.
