The long-standing traffic congestion on the Thane Creek Bridge (Vashi Bridge) along the Sion-Panvel Highway is set to ease as the Mumbai-bound section is expected to open soon. The construction work on the arterial bridge has been completed, and authorities anticipate its inauguration after the ongoing Assembly session. 

According to MSRDC officials, over 60,000 vehicles use the Sion-Panvel Highway daily, leading to significant congestion at the Vashi toll. Once the Mumbai-bound stretch of the new bridge is opened, thousands of motorists will benefit from improved traffic flow.
