Thane-Belapur Road in Navi Mumbai will be closed from 11 pm to 6 am on October 4 and October 9–11, 2026, for girder installation by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) near Bharat Bijlee and Siemens in Airoli. The work is part of the final-stage construction of the Airoli-Katai Naka flyover.

• Six-wheelers and larger vehicles travelling from Thane towards Belapur will be diverted from Mukund Company in Digha via internal MIDC roads. Four-wheelers must turn right at Bharat Bijlee Chowk, left at Airoli Fire Brigade Chowk, and continue via Khedekar Chowk.
• Vehicles travelling from Belapur towards Thane will divert at Rabale Naka signal and use internal MIDC roads via Mukund Company. Those travelling via Patni must take the Rabale Naka–Diva Gaon Circle–Patni Road route.
• Parking on the affected stretch is prohibited during restriction hours. MMRDA vehicles working on the flyover are exempt.

NMMC Standing Committee rejected a proposal for a sports complex at Vashi Sector 10A. House Leader Sagar Naik opposed the project, citing unequal allocation of funds and neglect of sports infrastructure in Airoli, Ghansoli, Koparkhairane and Rabale. Proposal was defeated by majority vote with BJP having higher committee members. Belapur constituency already has sports facilities including swimming pool and indoor sports infrastructure, while Airoli Assembly constituency lacks a sports complex. Proposed project on Plot Nos. 11 and 12 at Vashi Sector 10A included hockey field, tennis courts, running track, pathways, parking and other sporting facilities. Shiv Sena members opposed rejection, arguing proposal should have been revised to include other areas lacking facilities rather than rejected outright. Debate acquired political dimension as Belapur is BJP legislator Manda Mhatre's constituency.

The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has fast-tracked two truck terminals with a combined approved outlay of ₹205 crore, following industrial associations’ appeals and directions from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. MIDC CEO P Velarasu said work is in its final stage and both facilities will soon open.

The 2,333.27-hectare Thane-Belapur MIDC estate has more than 6,000 industrial units. Freight linked to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), Mumbai, Pune and other centres contributes to trucks parking on roads and worsening congestion.

• Turbhe: The ₹95-crore terminal in MIDC’s D Block is ready. Accessible via General Arun Kumar Vaidya Marg, it will serve trucks waiting for warehouse slots between Kopar Khairane, Sanpada and Turbhe. An entry-fee structure is among the remaining formalities.
• Airoli: The ₹110-crore terminal at Ilthanpada, near the Digha-Airoli border, lies off Thane-Belapur Road near Digha railway station and Airoli Knowledge Park. It will intercept trucks from the Mulund-Airoli Bridge, Thane, Kalwa and northern corridors, reducing spillover on roads serving Airoli, Rabale and Mahape.

Authorities are considering links to cargo flows at Navi Mumbai International Airport and plan stricter enforcement against roadside truck parking after the terminals open.
