Thane’s Kopri Road Overbridge (ROB) was opened for traffic from Thursday after Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde inaugurates the bridge at around 1.30 pm.
The Thane Kopari ROB, the inauguration of which is being done on Chief Minister Shinde’s birthday, will ease traffic congestion on Eastern Express Highway (EEH) and it will facilitate pedestrians crossing the highway, officials said.
To decongest traffic on the Eastern Express Highway, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had undertaken the widening of Kopri ROB. The existing 2+2 lane bridge was expanded to a 4+4 lane, which officials say will benefit small and heavy vehicles on the expressway and will reduce traffic congestion.
