Mumbai Metro Line 4 construction has entered a key operational phase in Thane, with preparations under way to place metro coaches on the tracks between Modella Check Naka and Teen Hath Naka. The work will trigger night-time traffic diversions on the stretch from Wednesday, according to a report by Navbharat Times – Mumbai.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority is preparing to bring a metro coach near the Bharat Petroleum pump in the Modella Check Naka area and move it on to the tracks. The process is expected to be completed within two days. Thane traffic police have granted permission for the work after the MMRDA sought approval for temporary changes to vehicle movement.
Vehicles travelling from Mumbai and Wagle Estate through Route 16 towards Teen Hath Naka Junction and passing through Modella Check Naka will not be allowed to enter the affected point during the night-time work. Instead, traffic will be moved through an additional lane created on the opposite side of the road. The arrangement is intended to keep vehicles moving while the metro coach placement work takes place.
