Thane Creek is the estuary of the Ulhas river, opening into Bombay Harbour. It comprises the area stretching from Mumbra Retibunder to the Mankhurd-Vashi bridge. It has been recognised as an Important Bird Area by the Bombay Natural History Society, as it is home to flamingoes and several other migratory and wading birds. The stretch of the Ulhas river that turns north towards Vasai Creek is also mistakenly referred to as Thane Creek. Thane Creek was an importnat harbour in olden times, with the ports of Kopri and Kalyan served by it, though they have long been silted up.
Thane is expected to be closed off from downtown Juneau until late afternoon at the earliest and possibly until Tuesday as state road crews work to clear natural and human-triggered avalanches.
that Thane Road was blocked by an avalanche 100 feet long and 20 feet deep, about 2 miles south of downtown.
Thane, a neighborhood of about 70 homes and 180 residents, was cut off from downtown and the rest of Juneau when an avalanche covered the road about 3 a.m.
