The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), executing the Metro Line 5 Project from Thane to Bhiwandi-Kalyan, cast the first marine pile cap on Kasheli creek recently.
Metro corridor 5 from Thane to Bhiwandi to Kalyan is a 24.9-km long elevated corridor with 15 stations. The line will provide interconnectivity among the ongoing Metro corridor 4 (Wadala to Kasarvadavali) and the proposed Metro line 12 (Kalyan to Taloja), and with the existing Central Railway.
It will provide rail-based access to the commercial, government bodies and geographical landmarks in Thane, Bhiwandi and Kalyan and it is expected to reduce the current travel time.
